ALVEST EQUIPMENT SERVICES

Company is chaotic to say the least and much of it is from their own doing. When I joined I was told they hadn’t closed to books in a few months only to see they hadn’t been closed for a whole year. Lack of progression and succession planning. Prime example was I had to train a senior accountant to do my job but was never considered for the position myself. Company fires people frequently with no warning. CFO lacks emotional intelligence and gets at the drop of a pin. He blamed an erp analyst for any potential down fall the company would have. Culture is atrocious constantly worked 70-80 hour weeks and worked holidays and weekends.  No point taking a holiday because you will come back to 2 times the work. Very little training and you will be expected to be able to do the job day 1. Company has so much potential but is held back by French management.

The people here are absolutely fantastic.  Period.  That's were the good stops.

The leadership team is all over the place.  They cannot make solid decisions, and the focus changes daily.  HR is helpful, but they seem as though they are making things up as they go.  Actually, everything feels like they make it up as they go.  Logons and other accesses are easy to get, but not set up when you start.  Documentation for contracts is wonderful, but on anything else it's not there.  The company boasts about being able to participate in a Bonus program, but they don't pay one out because they are losing money.  This is a buyer beware company, they are ok, but are they right for you?  Ask a ton of questions and do not settle for vague answers.  Pin them down, otherwise, you will be surprised when you see behind the emerald curtain.

Alvest Equipment Sevices reached out after my time was completed in the military and offered me the opportunity to further my GSE knowledge. There have been challenges along the way but thanks to the current leadership in place and continuous growth of the company, I have become more knowledgeable in my area of work and gained a lot of experience along the way. 

Workplace had a toxic culture for its employees that management never stopped. Safety was overlooked on many occasions. Company is growing so there is plenty to gain from that but so long as management continues the toxic work culture it will not be a good long term job unless you’re in a management position. 

I once loved this company, but they bit off more than they could chew and everything changed. The crew I worked with was amazing, but the company is falling apart. Constant policy changes with the majority of them not being communicated to the whole company. Very high turnover in accounting which created issues with being able to have parts on hand to complete the jobs

Good company that will invest in your success. Lots of work to do. Not a good company to advance in. Benefits are decent. HR for this company is not what it should be. Great place to be to advance your career as they will invest in your education. 

When local management speaks up the company retaliatated. Management talks bad about management that are no longer with company. HR will stab you on the back. They will blame you for things that are out of your control. Horrible work conditions. 

The company does not have your back and they will get rid of you for things that are out of your control. Always looking for someone to throw under the bus.  No facilities or accomodations. Be prepared to work under the Florida sun.

Pay for the mechanic rolls is great for the industry. Benefits are pretty good and 120 hrs of PTO not including paid holidays is nice. The only downside is management. Management will screw you over as soon as it becomes beneficial to them.
