Pros

There are some genuinely gifted people employed here.

Cons

After voicing some concerns about company strategy, costs of software upkeep, & costs of upgrading integral pieces of overly extinct ERP software, I was told that my boss - a member of "C-level" management (aka a company officer) would present my ideas during meetings with other departments, then tell them how little I did for the company. It was sad considering 4 other employees outside of my department actually confirmed that this happened on multiple occasions during meetings I was conveniently not invited to partake in. What's worse, once they decide you don't "fit" in with the club - they make your work life so miserable that you want to quit. Unfortunately I didn't. I stayed until I was terminated and learned to cope with being verbally & mentally harassed until that day came - all just so I could qualify for unemployment until I found my next job.

Thanks for your feedback. We value all ideas and suggestions but not every idea gets implemented. That does not mean your input was not valued, as every idea counts when you are always trying to improve. We try to constantly improve on every front, especially in areas that impact our customers and employees. When it comes to technology we do take our time to test systems and make sure changes meet expectations and are cost-effective so that we can pass those savings on to our customers. Wholesale firing is not our style. We have never had a layoff in the almost 80 years we have been in business.

Pros

None this company is shady and has gotten rid of employees for the pettiest reasons and somehow every time a bad review comes up.

Cons

They feel the need to call out the ex-employee for writing a bad review about them and always turning the tables and it being the employees fault they were let go. After a bad review the site gets flooded with a few 5 star reviews... fishy much?

There is a mixture of primarily good reviews but also negative reviews, like the one you post. There is no "flood", of any review type, unless one is sorting by review rating. Contrary to your statement, we do respond to positive reviews as well, in particular if a clarification is needed. Also, no one is being called out, as Glassdoor posts are anonymous with absolutely no correlation to any employment decisions. As you know we have an open door policy at Abt, so if you have any concerns/issues see your supervisor, anyone in HR or any of the Abt Brothers.
