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.

It is almost impossible to have a set time off for our delivery/install fleet. Some stops can be smooth and quick and others can take a couple of hours depending what issues they run into. Bottom line we try not to leave our customers until the job is done and make sure they are taken care of. We are an extremely busy store and it is no secret our drivers work long hours. It is brought up in the interview process on several occasions and as you mentioned the pay is good. Most of our drivers are happy with the overtime pay versus the alternative.

Pros

The community of employees is great.

Cons

During the pandemic Abt really messed up. We were given an option to not work, but that meant those of us who chose to work had mandatory overtime for MONTHS. When you are delivering and installing large appliances you physically cannot work 60 hour weeks for an extended period of time.

Abt chose to stay open during the pandemic to support our community with essential goods and allow our employees a chance to support their families. Whoever decided to stay on was grateful they were able to do this throughout those tough times. During the pandemic, we were extremely overrun with staffing issues, supply chain, and an overwhelming demand for certain essential goods. Most stores were shut down and not doing in-home deliveries and we were happy to have gotten the job done together with our staff. In fact, most of our crew was happy with the extra OT pay, extra bonus pay, and grateful to be able to help out our customers. The brothers worked side by side with their father (Abt Sr.) for many years and nothing has changed since his passing.
