ABC COMPANIES
Good Company
Operations Manager (Former Employee) – Grand Prairie, TX – March 21, 2018
I sincerely enjoyed my time at ABC Companies. ABC Companies offered me a great opportunity to learn the complete operation of a profit center and for that I am grateful. They were one of the best companies I have worked for and will always cherish the times with them.
Good

Wonderful people
Director of Human Resources (Current Employee) – Winter Garden, FL – November 22, 2017
Outstanding family business, caring culture, work hard - have fun. Everyone pitches in works together. Great working conditions. Fair pay structure and leaders
Poor upper management and long-term vision
Managing Director (Former Employee) – Winter Garden, FL – September 23, 2017
Upper management pit departments against each other resulting in a cut throat environment between bus sales, service, bus parts and coach parts and external sales.
Parts planning is ineffective and disconnected from dynamic combined item requirements for iternal, external and contract usage causing continual shortages and lost sales that are not even measured.
Customer relationship management is above average or better in all departments. Supplier relationship management is very poor with almost no effort applied. Many long term suppliers have provided the competition a pricing advantage as a result.

Managment blows
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Florida – May 26, 2017
there is very little to no communication, training basically doesn't exist.
management is totally lacking the ability to do anything.
can't even begin to do our job much less manage their workers
way, way too much favoritism
hiring friends and relatives and promoting them ahead of those that work hard know the job that truly deserve it
there are no opportunities to move up the company ladder
due to the favoritism there
and only if you are a brown nose or a friend of management
the place is very unorganized

Cheap with their money for raises
Service Technician (Current Employee) – Winter Garden, FL – March 19, 2017
Workers are great, management is worthless and clueless. Very cheap on pay raise. Most management have no clue what or how to fix a problem on a bus and should not be in charge.
Pros
Floor techs are great people

Management is clueless
Good place to work at.

Company management
TECH (Current Employee) – Redwood City, CA – October 27, 2016
This company is a great company. But, they are managed all differently, from Florida to redwood city. Based on my current experience with ABC - They lack a lot of communication, training is horrible, management does favor a lot here , they play games here that is not legal in the US. Meaning they will plot against people to get them fired, just because they are not liked or they mess up once. Management here does not even recognized the good hardworking employees. You get no holiday parties, no employee of the month, they pressure you to work harder than you do, no praise or thank you's but a lousy raise of .17- .20 cents. That is if you are good with the boss you can get up to $5. You get corporate visits who constantly change things around and is never consistent. They also look down on you. If you are not in management or a top notch mechanic or good with any one up there. Oh You will never get acknowledge. This work place is full of gossip, drama and disrespectful people. Just horrible. Also you will never be able to move up here within the company because they only hire outsiders before even offering a open position to a current employee. No opportunity to move up is given here. This workplace is busy and is disorganized. No one seems to have it together. There are people here that you can work with and work hard. But...are not even acknowledge well/appreciated. Only great thing about this company they will hire anyone who needs a job and will help gain experience and have great benefits.
Pros
Benefits
Cons
Management, Disorginzed, Alot of illegal activities, Hostile work enviroment
Not a productive workplace, hostile work environment, boss does not communicate but threatens and bullies.
Dictator (Former Employee) – Clermont, FL – March 21, 2016
The boss is a bully, does not give you time to accurately do the duties assigned and will not pay you for what you are being asked to do. This company is 1 year from closing down.
Pros
None
Cons
Nobody is happy everyone is looking to leave the company
Great place to work with wonderful people
Customer Service/Ordser Entry (Current Employee) – Muncie, IN – September 6, 2014
A typical day at work is entering orders from customers and answering emails. I have learned a lot more about the computer and how to do more things. Co-workders and management are some fo the greatest people to work with. The hardest part of the jobs--really nothing, except making sure you enter the right customer and parts needed. The most enjoyable part is finding new friends from the customers, even you never get to meet them, you can still enjoy them and joke with them throught email.
I really enjoy this job I am just looking for a part-time position to work in the evenings and/or weekends

Pros
They sometimes treat us with catered lunches and at Christmas and Thanksgiving, we have a carry in
Cons
nothing
The shop culture and mood were driven by my behavior
Operations Manager (Current Employee) – Nappanee, IN – October 19, 2013
I am the type of leader that leads from in front.
All of my employees always know where they stand.
If they follow then I reward them. If the employees don't follow they are not at my facility long.
I like to maintain a work place that encourages change, continuous improvement, and ownership in our final product.

Territory Manager (Former Employee) – costa mesa, ca – August 14, 2013
Being responsible for clients all over the SW region, I was rarely in the office. Between driving and flying, my daily goals were to maximize every moment I had in front of my customer. Using the concept "put the customer first," I developed lasting relationships that translated into double digit gains. By for the most difficult part of my job was the limited hours. Even working every second of every day, there was always more to do. Since time waits for no one, I focused on a priorities assessment I developed to ensure I was spend my time to its best usage. Finally, the best part- shaking hands with a client knowing we are both winners in the contract we sighed.
Pros
becoming friends with my clients, seeing the world, living life to its fullest
Cons
too many clients and not enough time
