Pros

*None* and ill explain why

Cons

* you have to fight for your pay* legit they forgot to pay me after my first pay check for 3 weeks when i started working and keep brushing me off this company used to be GCA and is now ABM *can never get a hold of the boss who is unresponsive infact the head custodians have trouble getting hold of the boss* when the boss does respond Sometimes its random threats like if fyou dont do what i say it will be your job etc, i reported several incidents of embarrassment, Nothing has been done at all infact my boss never even filled out a report. i got to consistently watch my paycheck as sometimes my boss decides to take hours off of it and then sometimes put it in to next next weeks pay or not at all Despite what hours you tell them your available they try and force you to work overtime or threaten with write ups i was promised that my first 3 months of working there i would get a raise to the pay i orginally wanted which would be 12 instead of 11 .25 on the 5th month i brought it to their attention called the boss then as he tried to dodge gave me The company Heads number who then told me their on a 2 year wage freeze

Pros

Great people who don’t INTEND to cause harm. The company tries to do right by its frontline team members.

Cons

Everybody wants to outwork their co-workers to prove they should stay with the company. The company’s focus is completely muddled and confusing—when I was interviewed and hired, we were focused on facilities services. How did we end up with 98% of our focus on semiconductors, AI, and Data Centers? Eight months into my first year in the job, they did company-wide layoffs, increased our in-office days from 3 to 4, and gave me another person’s job (which I was barely trained for). For the next 7 months, the job became agonizing and torturous. I was expected to act as a director or executive, while being paid the salary and given the permission and ability of the lowest-paid on the team (which is what I was hired to be). The company has shady ways of getting rid of people and expecting everyone to act as if nothing happened. The culture has completely changed, as DEI is not the focus anymore, and it has become increasingly apparent. Finally, always remember, that for ABM, company margins are more important than the talent and people you hire!
