      Pros

      ABM has great career advancement opportunities.

      Cons

      It seems like overall management has little knowledge of how to actually manage, as most managers have gotten the job by knowing somebody and not knowing how to manage.

      Advice to Management

      Hire the most qualified person for the job, don't base time with the company as a reason for promotion.
