Pros
To start with there are no pros here , this company is up and running with over 40 years , has only been in ireland just over two years but this company has brought with it all it's bad ways . The company is run with both fear and intimidation towards its employees . It offers really low rates of pay across the board . You are expected to do a lot of travelling with abec and the rates of pay are really poor to say the least . Also people have been handed their plane tickets and told they are leaving at extreme short notice . If you can't or refuse to , you could be fired on the spot . The culture of firing people is the worst I have ever come across and I hear of people being fired in the U.S and in ireland every few weeks . The irish management is week to say the least and has no backbone . It turns a blind eye to the way abec treats its employees. And the irish employees have no respect for them . Overall this company is top heavy with managers and from what I have seen they have absolutely no respect for the guys that actually do the work and gets the jobs done .
Cons
We often hear from management within abec "were the best at what we do " which in fact it couldn't be further from the truth . There quality control is very poor , and they often use very poor quality parts which more often than not comes back to bite them on the butt!! . The quality of the work is also suffering because they are loosing all there long term employees because of the very low rates of pay and the way they treat their employees .abec also hire in contractors when there busy which causes a lot of tension because the contractors are on a lot higher rate of pay than their own employees . There are some very good guys working in abec but they won't hold on to these guys because of their total disregard for them . Abec ireland needs to wake up smell the coffee , pay the proper rates, treat the employees with respect , and finally grow a pair of balls and stand up to the American management . Unfortunately I can never see this happing within this very poor company . I would urge anyone thinking of starting a career within this company please think again !!
