Pros

Offers fast-paced experience in high-volume recruiting and a crash course in managing heavy workloads.

Cons

• High Turnover & Restructuring: Frequent layoffs mean remaining staff must absorb the extra workload. In 3 years, I experienced 5 different supervisors, 4 regional managers, and 3 upper managers, creating a lot of instability. • Heavy Workload vs. Compensation: Recruiters are expected to hire 60+ people per month while navigating constant technical issues and updating over 10 different spreadsheets. However, compensation falls short with a $0.25 annual increase and no bonus structure for frontline recruiters. • Workplace Pressure: The high volume and tight targets leave little time for breaks, with many employees eating at their desks to keep up. Additionally, there are frequent payroll issues with frontline staff.

Pros

The team I led was outstanding.

Cons

I was just laid off after 3 years with the company due to a “restructuring.” While I understand these things are necessary from a business perspective, I was informed on a Friday morning about my upcoming severance (in good standing), and my access to all company information, including access to the team I led was shut down. Immediately. ABM boasts that it is a “people” company, however this tactic is cruel and very hurtful. Just a week prior I asked my supervisor about my performance and she said it was great. I’m very disappointed with the integrity of the leadership at ABM.
