Bottom line up front: There is no benefit to staying here past a year. 

The actual work involved is not bad. It is straightforward and relatively easy. It is everything else that is wrong with this company. The turnover rate is horrible. Within one year we've lost approximately 80% of our personnel including two PMs. The PMs we have now refuse to do annual performance evaluations which are the justifications for raises and bonuses. So essentially there are no annual raises at all. The only way to get offered a raise is to threaten to quit. There is no upward progression at all. What position and salary you were hired at is what they expect you to remain at indefinitely. This company will not last too long. They severely underbid contracts and expect people to be happy with the barely livable salary they offer. As one PM put it, "These people are so greedy. It's a privilege to work here. They're lucky I allow them to stay here." 

If that's the kind of company you want to be a part of, then by all means. But if you want to be valued as an employee and taken seriously, I would recommend against seeking employment elsewhere.

While the pay and benefits for ABSc are really nice and at competitive levels, they don't outweigh the negative aspects.

In my experience with ABSC, outside of your immediate site lead, management will always put the wants of the client ahead of their employees. Working your butt off and making your government quota consistently? Well, the government thinks that isn't good enough now and modifies the contract so that the quota is now quadrupled, but with no additional contractor positions. ABSC will sign off on that every time, with no regard to how any change is going to affect their employees.

Also, even after it's widely understood that every employee on the contract has at least an hour long commute home, so they'd rather not drink, at least on person in executive level management will get personally offended if you don't attend their Tuesday, after work happy hour. That type of behavior is unprofessional and extremely petty.

Not many companies are ideal in respect to perfection. I enjoyed my time with this particular company. Initially the location and schedule was... perfection (so to speak) for approximately 11 months. Unfortunately the mission changed and most of the team was disbanded; a few were offered positions elsewhere. I accepted but did not elect to relocate as my family (spouse/child) were at the previous location. The company is like many others, it's what you make of it; never fluff your resume as you WILL be asked to perform function listed if the company needs that particular skill set. Many employees were dismissed for such reasons. Never take things personally; as this is a business and as such it is not about retaining personal friendships (many employees did not understand the work/personal balance and boundary). The company was, for the most part, as fair as I expected it to be...but I am pragmatic. I certainly enjoyed their bonus incentives as well as wage package.

I worked on a project for Absolute Business Solutions Corporation (ABSc) for over a year and can safely say it was the most toxic, childish, and poorly-managed project I have ever had the displeasure of working. The project started out as a short-term surge but became long term after several extensions; however, ABSc management failed to address this change. Because we were still considered “short-term employees,” ABSc failed to provide us with employee evaluations or policies regarding company ethics and standards – such as harassment and non-retaliation policies. Additionally, we were not expected to take compliance training. All these issues created a hostile work environment rampant with harassment, bullying, retaliation, favoritism, and high turnover. Moving forward I would never suggest this company to a friend and will look back to the experience as an example of how not to manage a program or company.

When I started here, it was a great place to work as a senior program manager.  One year in, the company was evolving but there was no transparency with the leadership (mid-level).  I had four supervisors in as many months.  HOWEVER, the benefits and salary were great as were the HQ support teams (HR, Security, PMO).  They also have perks that I had not seen prior to working here, i.e. paying for part of a gym membership, streaming services, cell phone service, etc.  While not a fit for me, overall a good company to work for.  Please note, NONE of the same leaders are in place as when I was there.  This may be the best company around with the current leadership.

I would not work for this company again. The organizational platform is misinformed at best. The staff members that are required two perform multiple positions did not have any advanced notice on the need to do so. The screening missions are planned six months or better in advance and there was still no definitive schedule for ease and flow of operations with screening and report writing for the individual debriefer as well as the senior reviewers.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing, this is not a place I would recommend to anyone looking for a new opportunity. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of leadership, no clear direction and positions are not what the say they are. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Bad, No onboarding or leadership for direction. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Nightmarish, same positions day in a day with very little chance to fill real positions all jump ball work

What is the best part of working at the company?
Positive and supportive staff environment. Pleasant & respectful of employees.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No stress related with company, only with customer/military.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great! Can't say enough regarding their supportive relationship.


What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Pleasant, optimistic & supportive.

I like the company.  It's small, and it feels that way.  The benefits provide what I need them to.  The health care provider is United Health Care.

I like my manager/supervisor, too.  He's easygoing and very intelligent.

I work for ABSc on a contract mired in very volatile energy.  I don't know if ABSc has anything else for me to do.  Also, I don't think I'm paid enough there.  Barring those two things, I most likely would not be updating my resume.

The work environment was unprofessional and not productive.  Many of the other employees were disrespectful and childish.  Which was disappointing since most of them were military and much older than me (50's/60's). There is no room for promotions.  Make sure you know what you're getting yourself into, the pay is not worth dealing with the unprofessional employees and environment.
