Pros

A good starting place to learn and then get the hell out, and fast. Minorities are not messed with as much, HR is scared to death of (more) lawsuits. Stock is going up thanks to the pimple-faced MBAs at Boston Consulting Group who helped ABM effect the layoff of over a hundred long time top performers.

Cons

As a former senior leader within the company's executive group, I can say that this company has no regard for any of it's people and will burn anyone and everyone to give the perception of success to the shareholders and Wall Street. The company is now completely run by the Janitorial cronies and they are doing everything they can to fill their own pockets with stock and bonuses before this gravy train for them goes over the cliff. Most of them are at or near retirement age and do not care about the long-term benefit of company, it's people or mission. Sad to see this happen to a 100+ year old company and I'm sure the founders are now rolling over in their graves.

I hate it here

Pros

Paycheck but not pay rate

Cons

I can't emphasize enough how dreadful my time at this company has been. Working here feels like signing up for a journey through the circles of hell. Management is nothing short of a disaster - utterly clueless about talent acquisition and indifferent to the well-being of their employees. If you're not part of the management clique, be prepared to be treated like a garbage. The pay is insulting, and it's evident that they have mastered the art of undervaluing hardworking individuals. It's a sad reality that only those at the top seem to matter to them. There are multiple weekly meetings that are a prime example of time wasted with no clear purpose. An hour of discussions that leave you questioning the point of it all. Recruiters have gathered to collectively ask, "What is the point of this meeting?" Nobody seems to have an answer, and it's a colossal waste of everyone's precious time. The toxic environment is palpable, and the only silver lining is bonding with fellow employees over our shared disdain for this hell hole. It's a bonding experience recruiters within the company have together at ABM, that seems designed to drain the life out of its workforce. To make matters worse, the company exhibits disturbing signs of racism and homophobia. It's disheartening to see such discriminatory behavior in a supposedly professional setting. Diversity and inclusion are mere buzzwords here, and the reality is a stark contrast. In conclusion, steer clear of this company unless you're a glutton for being absolutely miserable. It's a regrettable choice for anyone seeking a fulfilling and respectful work environment. Learn from my mistake and RUN.
