Pros

Decent benefits for full-time employees Annual bonuses for salaried employees

Cons

Senior leaders across departments aren't in the same chapter, let alone the same page Salaries are not competitive for IT staff HR is disorganized and underskilled. Also, HR doesn't seem to understand that people who leave their positions voluntarily do expect to be paid. I didn't receive my last check on the normal payroll date; a two-day "investigation" ensued. They eventually realized that they had not paid me because I was no longer an active employee -- so watch that last check. This company can absolutely be expected to do the bare minimum for their employees -- when I resigned, nobody from HR reached out. When I was trying to figure out where my final paycheck was, I asked about my unused PTO. Because I live in a state that has few worker protections, I was told that I would not be receiving pay for the unused PTO because my state doesn't require them to pay it out. Executive leadership INSISTS on calling employees "team members", but it's just words. They do not care about individual contributors.

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!
