Working at ABM Industries in Spokane Valley, WA: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Spokane Valley, WA Area

"Get ready for a nebulous and empty experience. If you have not been a school system janitor do some kind of research or try to be prepared best you can. Poor training and slacker managers, who don't even courtesy pick up their phone, "Oh sorry, we're no longer with the company..." or basically any situation's response. Get ready to be left in the dark; belittled by managers, lied about by school faculty and other janitors. In my experience, negative places of contract with coworkers so heebie jeebie they were the antithesis of Teamwork. Broken, damaged, awfully outdated tools and the like went unremedied as if no one had the time or money to get it done, as promised or not promised. If one lies about you a supervisor could get rather unpleasant. Or you're accused of leaving "chemicals" behind in your route, be brow beaten for it while not one ABM staffer will name what those "chemicals" were. School faculty may complain ad hoc and eventually you could be fired, unless you're smart enough to not go back. I found out the hard way it's best to not let clients put a face to the work, yours. But sometimes being seen is unavoidable, even if you start on the latest hour. They reportedly had a ton of regularly occurring no shows but there's no thank you's for not being one of them."
