Pros

Easy to do job. Keeps you in shape. Competitive pay.

Cons

Your so called bonus is always taken away. Managers only care about their ego. No communications between shifts. Unrealistic expectations.

Many of our coworkers are in college and we consistently work on their schedules to accommodate a fair work life balance for both parties. We have numerous coworkers that have worked their way up after graduating and are in prominent positions within the store. We do however expect to be first priority, there is a commitment & responsibility made when taking a job and this experience should serve as a life lesson for you. We recognize hard work and reward it. Our long-term employee record speaks for itself. You mention “unrealistic expectations” It seems our definitions of expectations are incomparable and we were clearly not a good fit for you.

Pros

Nothing I can think of

Cons

HR policies from the 80's Cameras watch you and if you're not staring at your computer, you get money taken out of your bonus Bonus will get lowered if they think you made too much Upper management hires you to do what they want, they don't consider your opinions or expertise You work hourly, which means you have to clock out for lunch or any doctor appointments you may have and you need to make up those hours

Our bonus fund was designed as an incentive for employees to do the right thing and take care of our customers. Millions of dollars are paid out every year in bonuses and our employees are happy earning the extra income. Our owners and management team are available every day and often ask for employees' opinions on decisions made around the store. The HR policies are standard policies that you would see at any place of employment. The majority of our staff is paid hourly, which again employees are happy about because they get paid overtime for any hours worked above 40. In addition, starting pay for most departments is above industry standard. We have never heard of a company that pays their staff to go to the doctor but we definitely allow our employees the flexibility for appointments, etc. All employees earn Sick Pay and are able to submit these for hours missed due to missed time. We have to be doing something right over here at Abt to be in business for over 86 years and employing over 1,600 people.

Thank you for the feedback. We agree that our employees are great people. We take the time to develop and grow hard working employees and encourage upward mobility within the company. Nearly all of our management positions were promotions from within. We believe the long tenure of our employees speaks for itself and if you have specific feedback or recommendations for management, please feel free to reach out to us directly.
