What is the best part of working at the company?
In most cases over time is available and if you’re away for an appointment, you can work it in and make it up and keep your hours. Most everyone there was great to work with.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
In this company as in any other one. Working with all the different personalities and attitudes. You learn who you can deal with and trust in who you can’t.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I found the work environment to be adequate. Most people are willing to help you and see you succeed.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Most workdays start early and for me that was a Plus. It’s not hard work. It’s just steady work and sometimes work needs pushed quickly. Sometimes that can be stressful. Depending on a lot of different situations. Time of day and what needs pushed can be a little stressful, but you gotta get her done.

I worked in Maine for reference. Not much good to say here. Horrible leadership to start, I had 2 people with the same Mgmt type job telling me to do one thing, then the other guy telling me to do something else. Very inefficient if you ask me. HR person is never there so you either have to email or just wait until he is at work. I watched many people leave this place either because of utter frustration with floor management or poor pay/benefits. I would also like to add that certain people get to do whatever they want here and no one says anything or takes any kind of steps to stop it, while others are watched constantly and talked to about "efficiencies" daily. I'm sorry that I have nothing good to say but this is the honest truth. I would suggest looking to other area machine shops before ever taking a job here.

The most inept and willfully mismanaged company i’ve ever experienced. Corporate does not listen to employee concerns, and promotes employees to high levels of management who have demonstrated and have recordable instances of rude and degrading communication problems. Managers take absolutely no accountability for any daily tasks, and throw all responsibilities of the daily fire-fighting mentality that has been adopted onto the shoulders of a few overworked employees. Until the large amount of unnecessary, non-productive managers who contribute absolutely nothing and only add to confusion and frustration  is addressed this company will lose the last handful of incredibly valuable employees they have left.

I enjoy working here. Floor managers do everything they can to help employees succeed at their job. Some of the not-on-the-floor employees and management are a bit hit or miss. Some are fantastic people to interact with while others are unapproachable. 
There has been a big shift in priorities since the change in company name/owners. It used to be "step over a dollar to grab a penny", and "buy the cheapest from Craigslist". Now upper management is really looking into investing in their employees, modern equipment and technologies, and picking up the dollar along with the penny. 
There is still a lot to improve upon, but I feel that things are moving in the right direction, albeit slower than everyone would like. 

I have worked there for a few years. 
0 pay increase with advancement, even major advancement
Training program is a sham so they can give a title
Regularly lies about raises and increases, and cancels scheduled increases without informing employees
The affordable insurance takes $11k out of pocket before the savings are greater than having no insurance, and they will not let you cancel it
Hard work is rewarded with higher ups applying more pressure on you, more meetings, and more work (for the same pay)
Regularly harassed about medical issues I refuse to disclose from higher ups, and I recieve negative reviews despite the obtuse amount of work I do above my pay grade
Huntington Valley location

Working at Align for me has been pleasant in terms of knowledge aquirement and workload. There have been some bumps in the road with management, responsibility shifts and such but nothing worth mentioning. The current individual in charge of the location is incredibly smart and personable. I’ll be honest, i feel undervalued. I'm starting to question my impact, my growth, even my confidence. It becomes even more draining when I'm navigating strong personalities of a select few supervisors. Mainly my direct supervisor. The
rudeness, short tempers, and environments where emotional awareness feels absent make it hard to tolerate. Showing up consistently while managing that kind of energy isn’t easy. Maybe it's time to seek other opportunities, maybe it isnt

Good for old timers ready to retire but if you have any form of ambition/desire to grow this place will make sure to strip you of those desires. They are simply looking for bodies to fill roles and once you’re there nothing will change. This is where good machinists go to lose all their skills and become less and less valuable as the days go on. They act like unlimited overtime is something to be grateful for even though most machinists can walk out of there and be making $5 more an hour the following week. The only reason this place still has any of its workers is because it is an absolute free for all and you can get away with ANYTHING you want.

The job wasn't difficult. Could be stressful at times but not difficult. The position itself was enjoyable as was most of the coworkers. There is absolutely no effective communication between management and their employees. Inept people get promoted and even though they cannot do their job properly they are allowed to keep it with 0 repercussions. Manament turns a blind eye to their ineptitude. Hard working employees get overworked, not appreciated and left burned out picking up other people's slack. The few managers who are also working managers are ready to pull their hair out with how over worked they are while other managers just skate by. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The opportunities to work with new and exciting challenges.  We work on a high variety of processes and products, so you never get bored.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The high variety of work means that there are a lot of challenges competidor your attention.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Flexible, with opportunities to work a variety of schedules or jobs.  You can easily and often shift from one area to another as the job demands change.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Spending time with different teams working to solve problems.

Corporate management  under this current team has no strategic leadership plan for the direction of the company.  The corporate team never visits any sites to solve the real issues facing the locations.  Constant turnover at the company in management positions continues to disrupt operations.  A handful of people are the hardest workers but are the most abused by management.  Don’t expect to stay make a career this company.  Ask lots of questions about the company as a whole and not just the job you are interviewing.  Theres reason why people leaving companies in this massive volumes and in the same positions.
