Abt Response

We give our customers superior service and they expect that. That's OK with us because we guarantee that and customers always come back and tell others about our store's outstanding service. Long hours are good for us, we like to work hard. Last week Abt won the # 1 Top Workplace for large companies in Chicago which demonstrates that indeed, Bob Abt's ideologies have been maintained and live on.

Pros

Hard work and results are recognized. Great pay. Great benefits. Average employee has very long tenure, which says a ton about Abt. If you are going to work in retail, there is no better place to be.

Cons

It's retail. Evenings, weekends, and holidays are part of the deal.
