Pros

You need food to eat- they’ll give you money for work. You may not be able to afford food and May sleep in your car, but that’s not their problem.Enjoy working for big name companies as a second class citizen so they can expect full commitment from you, while refusing to offer you the same.

Cons

You may not make enough to live outside of your car. They offer insurance, but the deductible is almost more than you’ll make in a year if you add in your premiums. Our site did not have doctors in THE STATE that accepted our insurance. Also remember- your employer will never give you the consideration they expect. You are one of a faceless mass of people who are being hired as temporary employees and contractors so big names like Nike, the US government, Applied Materials, and Bank of America can sack you when they need to improve their labor costs for their stockholders and investors without having to deal with pesky HR.

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!
