Alaka-Ina-Foundation-Family-of-Companies

This company was an utter disappointment as a whole. Management was distant and had no clue on what was going on with their employees. On site management was unhelpful and rarely gave assistance or guidance when needed. Some military members treated contractors like trash and verbally assaulted contractors in front of management. HR was unhelpful and rarely gave detailed explanations to employees about basic topics. There was no overtime or compensation for working weekends except for "flex time", which was an unpaid day off. When reporting complaints or issues with other employees or military members, HR and upper mgmt did little to abate issues. The employees who were directed to undertake the most responsibility and tasked with heading up sections were not given lead employee pay or recognition. There were no basic safety implementations for employees like steel-toed shoes or required health surveillances. While we were told that employees were allotted one lab animal conference to go to, we were never allowed to go (or previously, had to use our own leave). There's little support for employees who wish to get certified in lab animal science. The pay is not on par with other contracting companies in the area, including contractors on the same campus. The organization of this contractor is terrible and the leadership is very weak. I would absolutely not recommend this company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Due to Covid, it was a work-from-home position. so no travel back and forth to work. It was very similar work to what I had performed at a previous job, with some of the same people. Learned new skills and got to use many of my old skills.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not getting to know my coworkers well due to the work-from-home environment.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Again, due to the work-from-home environment, it was difficult to evaluate what the work environment would have been like if we all worked at the same location. We did many meetings using Teams which gave some knowledge of who the other employees were, but it was still not like working together in the same area.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Performed analysis of medical data, reviewed work performed by others, and provided input to improve their work. developed and modified algorithms to accomplish multiple tasks.

I was excited to join this company only to find out that this company doesn’t take care of their employees.  The program manager does not do a good job of protecting employees from the viciousness of the GS workers.  This company hires too much workers for less work and plenty of downtimes.  It’s like a government waste of money!  The project manager does not care about the welfare of their employees, sad to say, but it’s all about money!  They hire, fire, and drop employees like hot potatoes.  So, I would advise for the applicants to be aware of this company.  The workload is light, and the manager would question the validity of your work.  This is a bad company to work for!

A typical day at work is really chill not too many patients as a normal phlebotomist will see, I didn't learn to much different than a typical day as a phlebotomist. The management that overviews all five locations in the DMV area is the most disrespectful manager, I'll ever work with, your honestly is not accepted at all the turnover rate is high because of the (off-site manager), the on-site manager is a press over she doesn't speak up for you, and more, nothing was hard about the work it was more so the management, I always enjoy dealing with patients, I say that's the only thing I enjoy while working there!, oh and the army doctors is nice! but anyways thanks for the opportunity. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The company creates a family atmosphere in being close to employees. They do what’s right!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The normal stress related to dealing with government contracts. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?

Working for the Alakaina Foundation Family of Companies has been a wonderful experience.  It is truly like a home away from home.  I love the company culture and the way Alakaina gives back to the community with the Digital Bus Program.  This program offers mobile science and technology classrooms to supplement STEM curriculum to the students of Maui and Moloka`i.  Alakaina is also a non-profit 501 (c) 3 ensuring that the young men and women of Hawaii have the skills and competencies they need to become effective leaders.

I have been with the company for three years and it has been a  challenging and rewarding experience.  I have received several spot awards for my work along with my team. The managers that I work with are great. Company offers tuition reimbursement to pay for education opportunities. The company is community oriented as well.  They have a digital bus program that provides STEM activities to kids. 

The position I hold in this company is straight to the point, it's a clerk with a bit of security detail. Compensation is ok, but could be better for those working nights. It's a PT work but it's a very chill job. Don't hear much from management unless it's something important and local supervisor is helpful. You're basically working on your own on the job, which is great for those who prefer to work independently.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great people to work for and work with.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing at all they have a lot of years in businesses and can guide you. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great nice people all the way around 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in and do your duties and stay on task
