ALFA Development, Inc.

I started here a little less than a year ago and it is just amazing. I get up everyday and want to go to work. I looked in my bank account on Monday and I got another bonus just for being on time and coming into work - how amazing is that. Most of the time it doesn't feel like work, it just feels like hanging out with a bunch of guys that need me to help them.

I couldn't ask to do anything more than what I am doing. I got a bonus to start here, I got a bonus to be vaccinated, I get bonuses because its Valentine's Day or because I came to work on time or because I did my job and I did it well.  That's on top of my hourly rate which has already been increased.  

Sometimes it gets a little tough, but that's just part of the job.  As long as you are willing to put in the effort, you will always be rewarded. This is definitely not a job for someone that wants to skate by and do the minimum but if you want to be rewarded each day by helping someone in their daily life and if you want to be a part of something bigger, then the is is the job for you.

I have worked here for over 3 years now and I just love my job.  This is the job that whatever you put into it you will get out of it.  It is definitely not for lazy people, but the work load isn't tough.  I get rewarded every time one of the clients smile at me.  I feel that I can go home knowing that I helped someone which is something that not everyone can say.  The pay has dramatically increased over the time that I have been here and the bonuses are given sometimes just because you're an employee.  People are promoted because they are noticed and they do their work.  

There is a bonus just for showing up on time, not getting written up and following the payroll procedure.  Some people make over $1000 per month over the regular pay.  Its amazing.  And now I just received $1000 for being vaccinated!  I have been able to pay all of my college loans, go on nice vacations and start to save for a home of my own.  

If you are looking for a place to have a career, this is the place for you.

This is definitely the best job I've worked for. It's certainly not an easy job, but the job is what you make of it. If you're looking to just skate by with minimal effort, this probably isn't the job for you. If you're the type of worker to go above and beyond in any aspect, upper management will notice. There are bonus incentives that are easy (AND YES I SAID EASY)  to obtain on a routine basis. All you have to do is show up to your shifts on time, and do your job. That's it!  There is advancement opportunity if you're willing to put in the work. As I said before, upper management definitely notices when you go above and beyond. The clients are definitely what makes this job fantastic. We're here to interact with them, take care of them, and at the end of the day aim to better their lives the best that we can. Half of the time the job doesn't even feel like work. All I can say is if you're interested in the job, give it a shot and apply. Just remember, you always get back what you put in.

This is the third agency that I have worked for in this industry and by far is the absolute best.  I love it here.  There are so many things that are great but I have to say that the pay is BY FAR THE BEST IN THE AREA and the way that the people in the executive offices know and care about the people they serve is unlike anywhere I've ever been.  Everyone is responsive and knows the clients.  It just feels like we are a family.  Its such a wonderful feeling.

I know that as long as I do my job and I do it to the best of my ability, I will never have any problems.  I would highly recommend anyone to work here.

This place is a great place for someone trying to figure out what they want to do with their life. The management definitely tries to work with you but they usually end up having to put their foot down on certain subjects. There is a lot of In-House drama that can cause issues from time to time. The best part about this job is definitely getting to know the clients. The hours are also flexible as long as you are working in a group home. The day program hours are extremely consistent. And whilst working here I have never encountered anyone that wasn't in a full-time position.

I don't think that I have ever had a job that comes with so many bonuses and incentives, I received a hiring bonus, a bonus for being vaccinated, timekeeping and attendance bonus, an ipad in a qualified prize draw as well as a Christmas bonus and around valentines day, I'm told that these are every year too, plus other $ thank you gestures on top of verbal thank you's from my manager. Of course there are rules to follow and chores to be done, but that goes for everywhere that ive worked, at least the better places.  

ALFA Development was a very rewarding experience. The company makes sure you are knowledgeable in caring for clientele. The company pays for certain educational needs that also benefit employees private life costs. (i.e. defensive driving course, saves money on car insurance because you receive certificate.) Overall flexibility to work as much or little as you want. Different schedules allow for flexible work hours. Overall, tough challenging job with many personal and professional payoffs.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is no best part. They don’t allow independent thinkers. Comply or they will let you go before probation is over. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There unrealistic expectations on unwritten rules 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s ran in a dictatorship form. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Paperwork, janitorial work and direct care

I am a manager at one of the group homes and I love my job.  I love my clients, my house, my bosses, my EVERYTHING.  It is the best job I have ever had.  The staff are treated fairly and they get bonuses on a regular basis.  Sometimes they are doubled in their wages.  All the upper management asks is that staff do their job as asked.  The staff's jobs aren't hard, my job isn't hard and the guys who we work for (our clients) are all worth it.  I would recommend that anyone looking for a job definitely apply here.

This is the worst place to work I’m currently an employee , the pay is terrible the upper management are so rude , your check is constantly messed up , they tell you it’s a bonus every month but what they don’t tell you is that anything you do they can take it away , but once we start this Union after I get everyone to sign hopefully things will be better , we are very unappreciated here we eat cold cuts that are old , we aren’t  even allowed to carry around a water bottle these conditions are not okay
