 ABC Home and Commercial Services is not what it appears on those commercials. At some point customers need to become aware of whom they are really buying goods and services from. I am sure that a company with God in their mission statement would be expected to have some kind of morality...but to my surprise ABC Pest Control/ABC Home and Commercial services is bereft of any kind of compassion. Raleigh Jenkins runs around the company micromanaging everything while thumping his chest and saying that his name is onthe stationary. A sure sign of an immature leader who has lead the other managers (no way are they leaders) into a management style I refer to as "gotcha bullying".  ABC is stuck in a time warp, they make their exempt employees punch in and out to knock us down to size, Norman Nelms Vice President and Kim Hogan asked me to stop using big words and writing complicated emails after I was recruited to "take them to the ext level'. With my 25 years OD, HR and T&D expereince which they have no idea what I even do...I did not expect to be stonewalled and bullied into all but silence. On most days I did't speak and the less I spoke the more comfortable the all male environment became. Derek Salzar reported my every move to my supervisor Kim Hogan. Controller who herself blurted out to me that she had a prejudice agaist strong black women. Now get this, she's the ministers wife to a white asitant pastor in an all black mega church. Wonder what would the African American women of that congregation knew how she really feels about them. ABC is a circus. They fire people with no due process because the incompetent managers like SteveMartin and Brian Jackson accidently hire too many people. Then they wait until the new hire has left his old job started with us and then is fired a few days laer or a couple of weeks later from some trumped up reason they forced me to put in the termination letter. while they have a policy that supports progressive discipline, they do not use it. No oone gets performance evaluations so you don't know how you're doing until the termination conversation. SOMEONE has to seak out and stop them. Because I beleive that customers would change their minds about givig ABC their money. As the new Director of Human Resources, (there were 5 before me in the last 4 yearI hired 18 people in June and they terminated 17. Who has that kind of turnover but NEVER addresses it. I tried saying no and was terminated the next day with some ridiculous truped up charges. There are employees who have 6-7 writeups in their file for serious offenses toward customers, but they are male so they have been safe for years. My departure returns the managers meting level and the executive group to all male and all white. They do hire minorities only to push lawn mowers. The payis low, they try to cheat them of of their bonuses by changing the structure 3 and 4 times per year.The employees are soo unhappy and the Jenkins, contray to his commercial "do not care". Rleigh runs around like an implsive nut interferring with the decisions his own mamagement group. People hate it there and the ones who are still confident enough after letting ABC batter your self esteem so you rarely speak during the day, get out. When employees do depart, especially the talented ones, they don't even give Raleigh notice...because ABC didn't respect them so wy should they be respectful back. The accnting department under Kim Hogan is a mess. Most of the complaints are abut billing mistakes. There are no checks and balances regarding billing and only one of the staff knows how to reconcile. The manager of the accounting department is afraid to even open her mouth to address issues but she was encouraged by Kim to be a manager. As long s the minorities play the aunt Jemima role, ABC accepts you, but if youhavecredentials, and 25 years or organizational turnaround experience everyone becomes intimidated and makes it their mssion to catch you making a mistake. All of the top performers only 3 have confesed that to me and they are all ready to bite their arm off to get away from abc. I hire 93 peple since March and 33 of them have terminated or been terminated. It is a crime thatin 2013 a company is still alowwed to function like a plantation. Even if you are desparate for work, unless you want the living spirit choked out of you, to be made to feel like nothing by the bullying emails your supervisor sends you (all of which I kept) don't g to wok for ABC. You willlive to regret it. and Customers, be sure to check your ivoices and your credit card for false charges.
