So I wasn't employee up until today. I started at this company just short of 3 weeks ago. Wednesday the 2nd. Today I was finishing my shift and was on my last trailer everything was great the people were great as far as my colleagues, they were great. Upon finishing my last trailer I was pulling to the office and told that I was going to be terminated, due to a miscommunication that happened between me and management. I had needed to see my primary care provider for some personal medical issues that occurred at the time of hire, I properly informed them to the best of my ability at the time the incident happened, as I had no control over the timing of the incident happening, as medical issues are not controllable and are inevitable. According to their policy it states that unforeseen circumstances are understood and that upon a doctor's note in their own words they are willing to work with you. But they were not willing to work with me. Upon talking to a member of management about my appointment and how I should go about dealing with my appointments and not missing work, I was told that I could take the next morning and go schedule an appointment come back with an appointment card and time and they would pencil it in and be willing to work with me. Upon being told that at approximately around 2:30 p.m. today, I was pulling the office later on towards the end of the shift at around 5:21 and was let go because of attendance issues that were caused as a result of medical conditions that I properly inform them about at the time that they happened. As again I had no control over the incident or medical issues as medical issues are inevitable in unforeseen. I don't recommend working at this job the training was blunt and very vague and spent most of my time standing around sweeping didn't learn anything in the two and a half 3 weeks other than how to put a handle on a door which I learned in kindergarten. I don't imagine this company will be leading with this foot for very long and if they do they won't be a company for very long. I strongly advise any newcomers not to work here as it took me 8 years to consider this position for this job due to this circumstances happening to others and hearing the stories from others. Do not work for this company whatever you do they will waste your time mislead you and give you a false sense of security

I worked as Logistics Manager at Alcom's Florida plant for 12 months. In my experience, this is a highly demanding and often thankless role with a pattern of high turnover — it seemed like there was a new manager in the position almost every year.

During my time there, I contributed to double-digit million dollar revenue growth over the prior year and helped set new daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly records across most categories, many of them multiple times. Dealer communication and satisfaction improved significantly, especially with the Triton watercraft models, and Logistics consistently outshipped Production. I managed all of this while the department was short key positions like Yard Supervisor and Production Scheduler. I personally covered those responsibilities during peak season and beyond, which took a severe toll on my personal health.

I received two raises during my 12 months and had zero disciplinary actions or write-ups. Despite this, I was let go very suddenly shortly after a new Plant Manager started. In my view, in his first three weeks he spent little time learning the logistics operations or goals, openly acknowledged this multiple times, and his priorities often clashed with those of the Director of Logistics (to whom I reported). It felt to me like a “ready, fire, aim” approach with weak justification for the termination.

The Florida plant has noticeable tribalism and increasing pressure to do more with less. The operation manages a uniquely diverse product line with goals and complexities that other plants don’t face. Even while short-staffed in leadership roles, the team still accomplished a great deal. However, I found the company to be very reactive rather than proactive. I repeatedly raised concerns to the director team and executives about upcoming risks like inventory timing and order flow, but they were not addressed in advance.

If you thrive in high-pressure environments and can navigate internal politics, the core work itself can be rewarding and the results can speak for themselves. Just go in with eyes wide open about the culture and leadership stability.

I Love the employees I work. The most of people on the production floor are honest hard working  people with good hearts.   That said It's the most disorganized place I've ever worked for or ever seen for that matter. The communication is very poor in upper management and almost no existent across shifts. 
The management is cut throat . They tell you what you want to hear to get you off their back with no intention or attempt of following through.  Instead of trying to save money in areas like material waste and trying to improve layout to increase productivity they will push your review short your check and hope you don't notice. They try to save by purchasing products that require assembly that previously didn't require it and expect the same at the end of the day.  The supervisor is at fault no matter the situation if budget is not met  at end of day.  The quickest way to lose your job is to take a position as a supervisor at this company. Almost every one knows this and they currently can't get anyone to take the job.  They say they promote from within but that is a lie. If they are looking to fill a higher level position they hire someone at a lower level from outside of the company with the intention of promoting in to higher level position they are trying to within a f
Short time.  They try to make it look good but it's obvious. The Production workers with a 🧠 a good work ethic get bombarded with work and extra tasks while others watch movies on the phone and hang out. They are then rewarded by giving them help or a easy gravy jobs because they can't keep up. When review time rolls around the hard worker gets the same as the lazy workers. Don't ever take what they tell you at face value make sure it's in writing or recorded some how. They rather have a revolving door of employees than pay good quality employees to stay because it keeps the labor cheap and profits sky high. The one thing I can say is if you need a job, walk through the door and your hired. 

Honestly, this job is not for anyone over 25. If you're looking for a worthwhile job that will deliver on the promises it provides, keep looking. The schedule advertises for a mon-thurs 40 hour workweek, however you will likely work most Fridays and be asked to stay late by at least an hour constantly. If you're a young person looking for experience and a decent wage with plenty of overtime, youre in the right place. However, you will be working in a very hot building with limited airflow and be expected to work at a breakneck pace constantly. Advancement is near impossible in the weld shops and the production managers will do nothing to address the consistent shortcomings of their negligence in ensuring progress is made in meeting production goals. The constant theme of every meeting is "we are behind today again, you need to work harder, this is unacceptable" and then go to their offices and not be seen again until the next round of criticism that they will inevitably give. I have personally seen well over 20-25 hires and fires within the year I worked there. To be transparent, there is not retirement, no sick leave, about 1 week of PTO and you can expect less than a dollar a year in raises (even if youre lucky enough to get your review in time with no retroactive pay). Good luck getting a chance to take the 3 tier test as well LOL!  I personally knew of noone that was given a chance to even take it. This is a meat grinder job, understand what you're signing up for. I would recommend this job temporarily for a first time welders, felons and overall kids.  

I've worked for the organization for a decade and it is hands down the best company I have ever worked for. In my tenure, I have advanced multiple times throughout a variety of departments, finally rising to the top position in my field. My work ethic and integrity were matched by my leaders from day one and it made acclimation tremendously easy. 
This organization started as a small local business and expanded nationwide. In that expansion, the feel of being part of a family extended across the states to each of our other sites. 
Alcom cares about each and every individual employee. They've extended a helping hand at many difficult points in my life, whether it be financial or emotional support, the organization and it's leadership were always there to lean on. 
Myself and others were presented with opportunities at Alcom that otherwise may never have surfaced; helping not only to grow us as individuals, but to help each local area in which our facilities reside to grow.
Work life balance is strongly encouraged and supported. The organization cares tremendously about the quality of life of each and every employee. This was highlighted immensely during the pandemic as Alcom worked feverishly to ensure all employees would not miss pay or unemployment benefits during the crisis.
If you want to work for a strong willed, forward thinking company, with a ton of integrity, and opportunities to learn skills and advance your career; then this is the organization for you.

Save yourself the trouble and do not work for alcom. The low level leads and actual employees are fine, but the supervisors and higher up managers are terrible. They do not care about your concerns whether it be new equipment for a better end product, some safety concerns are ignored. They are slow to do performance reviews, and you’re lucky to get more than a $0.50 raise. They are currently on a pay freeze as of November “until further notice” so you won’t be getting a raise regardless. They also have a tendency to write people up without the person signing, seeing the write up, or even being told they’re getting a write up. Dont put in a two weeks notice that you’re quitting to join the military because they will lie and make up a reason to fire you. Alcom has been steadily declining for awhile now, blaming the workers and ignoring the horrendous management issues which the workers try to express to corporate, but as you could expect those concerns are never taken seriously. They complain about not hitting their numbers every week because they move them up as soon you hit them once, but also complain if people are working overtime to hit said goals. Avoid this place. 

At this job management will consist of "qualified" employees that only see numbers. And supervisor is just someone off the production line lucky enough to have an open spot with zero experience in how to run a production line. The best thing you can do is not try to promote your self. Terrible communication only leaves the job more stressful than it already is. Day shift and night shift production numbers corrolate with each other so if one shift doesn't provide the blame is always put in the wrong direction with no care about what obstacles stop production. On top of that. Supervisors have no idea how parts of the shop are ran making problems worse. If you have a few people who work poorly it only makes you look worse if you're not constantly picking up other people's slack. Which gets old real quick. I left because I wish to not have a stroke working there. It's not worth it as working over the top hard gets you nowhere here. For welders, there is no air filtration so you will often find yourself feeling sick. On top of that there are no sick days offered and even doctors notes will still give you points and when you hit five you will be let go. Extreme weather conditions also do not exempt work. Leaving early or calling in for snow with give you points. 

I started in June of 2021. When I got there everyone worked together to ensure trailers were pushed down the line in a timely manner. But as soon as it became a corporation with investors everything started to change. It started with the whole dog and poney show. They started to make drastic changes that ultimately took away quality. They promote off of how long you've worked there, and not the knowledge you have. While I was there I constantly fixed mistakes made by other welders. Most of those welders made more then me because they were there for 5 years,where I was there for a year and a half. When I asked for a raise I was met with resistance, and written up for things that weren't full on me. Like building a shelf to the prints, but the measurements were still off, and from 6 months prior to the evaluation for the raise. They still keep the mediocre welders there, and because of this the quality is lacking. I really hope they change something, because it wasn't that bad of a gig.

I worked for Alcom nearly 4 years ago.  The place was a disaster which waz a director reflection of the CEO (TC).  Unless there's been SIGNIFICANT changes at the executive level dont waste your time.  You'll want to improve things for the employees but will be given no latitude to do so.  Supervisor's had no idea what time they'd be leaving their shift.  Professionalism was absent all positions, with the exception of logistics.  At four months into the role I was the most tenured plant manager of four US plants.  As with all others, I quickly identified my values did not align with the CEO's values and I quit at six months in.  I'm presently a successful manufacturing director who is very happy with my role and my team, as has been the case in every role I've accepted, with the exception of Alcom.  Use extreme caution if considering a management role that involves leaving an organization you're happy in.  My goal is to inform you so that you can avoid regret.

Alcom is not a good place to work! No matter how hard you bust your back they will constantly let you know how replaceable you are. I worked there for 3 years and I’ve had so many supervisors I can’t even remember all their names! They will tell you when u get hired that you will have a review for a dollar raise after 30 days 6 months and then every year but I’ve never gotten a review on time, my first review was 4 months late and the one I was supposed to get last is almost 3 months late! They really don’t care about their employees at this company. They would rather let me put in my 2 week notice than let me change to the weekend shift because I’m starting up school on Tuesday and Thursday even though the weekend shift needs worker and they are hiring a bunch of new employees
