Alliance Door Products

fast-paced, but fun group to work with.  Learned the anotomy of doors and functions.  I cannot complain about the management at all. everyone has an obstacle, but I can say if there were a problem back home or schedule change, they would work and compromise with you.  That is why I give this company my best effort. It is a fun environment depending how you make it.  Hardest part of the job was the communication between shop workers and sales team. The most enjoyable part is when we all come together in a song we all know blaring out the stereo.  It may be stressful at times and there were some conflicts, but we shrug it off, and push on. despite different opinions and point of views, we always push it aside to help each other out.  we never compromise the person next to us.  This place was my family

Working there I quickly learned it was a demanding job where they expect you to master tasks in a matter of hours. Supervisors have little to no involvement in your training and are basically learning from coworkers who already seem too busy. Work hours are on the heavy side so just avoid having any social/personal plans until 6 pm. More times than not, there are no clear instructions or goals for the day to avoid working too much overtime. Pay is decent but nothing to want to commit long-term. Having some good coworkers really helped keep me there as long as I did, but overall, the amount of long shifts coupled with heavy workload, will leave you feeling burnt out.

First you will have to check off products to make sure all is accounted for, then stack and wrap or band the stacks of doors. Then using a forklift and some hand lift items load your trailer and, leave to do your rout. Most of the routs are at least 150 miles to 200 miles per day! There are  a couple routs requiring more miles per day but they can be completed in 10 hour work day or less. 

During the work day you’ll deliver product to customers , rolling stacks sometimes 60 to 100 door stacks, on pallet jack to the end of your trailer some stops have docks but not much… throughout the day you’ll also grab return doors to bring back! After the route is done head back park truck! And done for the day.

I’ve worked at Alliance for almost 3 years now and it’s been a great and welcoming place to work the entire time. However the communication between sales, warehouse, and shop almost doesn’t exist even with all three departments under the same roof. Other than that it’s been a pleasure working there and I’d recommend it to any workers out there who want experience in the door business.

The company is not at all what it portrays itself to be. You are just a number unless you are favored by management. Some employees in same positions with same job titles get high raises while others get a pity cost of living increase. No real benefits. No bonuses. Health insurance is not paid by the company. 

If you can handle the hate speech, disrespect and bullying…pay and benefits are OK for labor work.

Old school boys club dinosaurs. Overall miserable place to work. Do not suggest or endorse. They do not walk the talk and unless you have been there for 20 years, you are clearly NOT in the club. 

I enjoyed working with my teammates, supervisors, and especially the customers. The equipment was well maintained. I became use to the new E-Log system and driving the New Volvo tractors with automatic shift.
