Pros

There is 0 pros to this job at all, get an actual job where the don’t deduct your pay for stupid reasons. And get an actual job overall. You could be 50 years old and they will treat you like a child at school.

Cons

Absolutely the worst place I have EVER worked, worst management possible. Everything the managers do contradicts how they should be managing at all, they give you “VTO” voluntary time off so they don’t have to pay you for the day and they save money by doing this. It’s one rule for the managers and a different rule for everyone else. God forbid someone in your family is in hospital or passes away they will accuse you of lying for time off. If you ever are unlucky enough to have to call in sick they will accuse you over the phone of drinking the night before. If you start here and manage to make it until the winter time they try and find things to sack people for so they don’t have too many people employed over the “quiet” period Throughout winter. They have 0 respect for anyone that works underneath them. If you have any issues they say “deal with it” or “get on with it” good luck to anyone that works here, also if you do have to have time off due to family or you are genuinely ill then your probation will be extended by a further 6 months, so initially you’ll be on probation for up to a year. You will never progress in this job as they employ new managers externally who have no idea what they are doing. If anything bad happens there and a manager is present, the manager will get away with it and they will sweep it under the carpet but as for the employees you will get sacked. I wish there was an option for 0 stars

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!
