Alliance Entertainment

We are the largest wholesaler in America. We supply the largest brick & mortar outlets as well as online business. However, you cannot be every thing to every client. As technology evolves, consumer needs change. Supply and demand can only be at maximum of all involved are on a level playing field. The company is currently operating on outdated contracts. As our clients evolve their systems, increase their business and make changes as necessary, Alliance has a problem with saying "We cannot accommodate these changes at this time". We are also continuing to expand; looking for new acquisitions. 

Reducing the higher paid staff while shifting the work load onto the lower paid individuals is high stress as you're handling a department that is not of your concern.

Alliance Entertainment was a great place to work for.  They have a very sophisticated MVC application to manage high-traffic sites.  Although the workload was always very high, management (on the .NET side) made time for employees to learn new technologies.  The .NET team was in a beta program with Microsoft so were always eager to use the latest technologies and even ones not yet complete.  Co-workers were overall very friendly.  The most enjoyable part of the job were the green field projects and the hardest part was the changing dynamic of teams.

Picked orders using a RF scanner and cherry picker. Grabbed a ticket with an order from the picking desk. Logged into the RF gun to recieve your first location. Some tickets keep you in the same isles, for instance...you may start out at 45C-02-8F. Then have picks throughout the C isle, once you were at the end, you would start in the D isle. For instance, 45D-01-25C. Then go on until you reach the end of that isle. Place your sticker on your full tote and drop it off at the line. Then repeat.

After the original company Infinity Resources was bought out by Super-D (Irvine, CA) in 2011 the culture has been acidic. Super-D/Alliance Entertainment continues to expand which leaves you one merger (Bloodletting) away from losing your job. The actual group of workers in Itasca are quite nice and friendly, but with no real leadership from above (they all just want to hold onto their current job) leads to no real advancement and no security.

this typical job is making sure that stores and vendors gets credit on there items they return and it goes by the store when  all product is out of the box the computer has to update in order so vendor can get there credit from there returns. Hardest part about the job is making sure that boxes get full enspecially the bulk products so it recalls the associate to use your best judgement.  Enjoyable part of the job is most of the coworkers are friendly and able to give a hand when a box is empty.

I was lucky enough to work in the music industry before the computer age took it over.  Sales team was treated very well.  Free lunches, free performances by upcoming artists, free tickets to concerts fun meet and greets and the best venues in Los Angeles and Hollywood.  There was never a dull moment.  I was able to meet a ton of people thru this position all over the country.  It was great.

in the company, working to meet the delivery schedule by bus, although the production is individually, takes advantage of the time to successfully complete the work day, co-administration are porsonas demanding that meet the standards set , are communicative, co-workers with honest, efficient and organized, almost always done overtime, and is guaranteed 40 hours of work.

Working at Alliance Entertainment is a bitter-sweet type of experience. Though the work load isn't difficult at all, the management and organization of the company is not up to par in my opinion. My co-workers are awesome, it is a pretty good environment to work everyone is friendly for the most part. There is always something new to learn. For me my typical work day consist of billing freight, scheduling pick up trucks and sending out invoices.

Alliance wasn't a terrible job. It was more about the management and their inability to speak English well enough to be understood or even to communicate back to you. It seemed alot about favorites and little to no opportunities to move up in any field or department. 

Many of the employees have been working in the industry for a long time, and are lucky to still be working in it.  But, over the years, esp. in the last decade, the business has changed dramatically.  However, Alliance will be one of the last music/entertainment distributors out there, and that is due to the owners.
