Of course we want you to get the right impression of what it’s like to work at ABB CONCISE, but why take our word for it? Have a look at what real ABB CONCISE people have to say…
What does it mean to work at ABB CONCISE?
“January 2010 was my 14th anniversary with ABB Concise. I guess 14 years is a long time to be with the same company, but I don’t feel like I have been here for such a long time. The years have gone by so fast and are filled with many happy memories and a sense of pride not only in my growth but the growth of our company.
People sometimes ask me if I get bored or unhappy working at the same company for 14 years. The answer is "No." I have learned so much and have always felt valued. I have had the most wonderful role models and mentors. I consider myself lucky to have started at ABB when we were much smaller. It gave me the opportunity to learn from and work with many of our leaders of today. I will never forget the wisdom and passion Brad, Angel and Cindy shared with me throughout the years.
I am fortunate to work at a company that has given me so many opportunities to learn, grow and advance my career.”

"It means job satisfaction. During my years here, I have seen how employees are given what they need to get the job done and they are given exposure to other areas to support the business. At ABB CONCISE, there is a respect for employees and the jobs they perform. The management team listens to me. And we all put forth honest effort to make a difference in our work environment. There is a simple belief by the executive team that the work employees are doing is important and makes a difference.”

“Working at ABB CONCISE for 22 years has been a continuous learning experience! I have played roles in almost all of the different departments, from Customer Service, Frames and Ophthalmics to Distribution Services. It has provided a well-rounded experience since I got to see different aspects of the business. I thank the company for giving me those opportunities.
I remember how we used to hand write orders from the doctors and now the CSRs are logging on to the phones via their computer! We also used to check stock on certain products via an intercom system and we would have to physically get up from our desks to check the racking. We sure have come a long way!
In my time here, we have actually been 5 different companies. The company name has changed but not many of the people. They are like my family. Mike Abbruzzese has literally watched me grow up since I started working here at age 17. What keeps me here? The people of course - and the 25 days of PTO I get every year doesn’t hurt either!”
