Work day is in the field performing trainings and presentations.  The opportunity to develop and build relationships with businesses and individuals is substantial.  With the correct leadership, which is in place, you can discover skills that were previously beyond your scope and are always useful to have when you represent alternative roles within the company.  The hardest obstacle to overcome for most in this position would be the travel from home.  As we grow and continue to add additional personnel, that travel will decrease, but for now  it is quite high.  The most enjoyable part of the job, for me, is the travel.  For this job, travel is what you want to focus on if there is not other supporting staff in your area.  It can be a mostly home every night or it can be on the road most weeks and home on the weekends.  You will want to know these facts before deciding on job acceptance.  

It's a decent place to start working to get your feet wet, but that's about where anything good ends. No meaningful raises, no bonuses, pretty much no incentive to want to work for the company, or to stay in general.  Management at the plant level us good, but once you get above that it all goes down hill. Corporate does not care about the working employee. All they care about is getting cash in their pockets. They dont care if half your state, or half the city the plant is located in is on fire. People could be loosing their hones, but you have to keep things running. Got to get that product out. The people on the floor are just numbers in corporates eyes. Moral on the floor is the worst I've ever seen it. There is no trust that things will get better, or that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. A good portion of the plant are one foot out the door, and planning their exit strategy. 

-Typical day would be cold calling people and places in the siding market in an attempt to fill your schedule for 2-3 weeks ahead.
-Learned a lot about the proper siding techniques
-Management was absolutely horrid, talked down to by manager in public meetings with peers, little to no guidance from manager, overall experience from management was unimaginably bad. Happy I will never have to speak to him again.
-The culture is all about sales.
-Hardest part of the job is filling an empty schedule day to day and week to week and being micromanaged about what you did each day and each week and what you have scheduled for weeks to come.
-The most enjoyable part of the job was having a work truck with a gas card, as well as paid meals while traveling for work.




Worked there for 8 Years, started as a Piler Operator (5 Years) and waited for a maintenance position to come open and took the electrical position (3 years). Some of the managers are great, some of them don't care about anything except beating the other crews numbers. The maintenance team was great and worked hard but the heads of the maintenance dept were sorry and did not want to pay you what was promised to you in the beginning. Very dirty work environment. long 12 hour days/ nights with a lot of overtime. very hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Pretty much working in a metal building with  no insulation 

As a Territory Sales Manager for Allura you have a lot of autonomy.  You have the ability to really define your market and to take ownership of it.  Your Area Sales Manager and the National staff are very responsive to questions, to help you learn, and to give you recommendations and suggestions to make you  better in your position.  The support that have I received from everyone especially my team is what has driven my success.  I look forward to the years in front of me at Allura.

It was all about production and who cares about any ones home life. They always changed the schedules with only 1-2 day notice. Benefits were really good and  the pay wasn't bad just some of the people that was in upper management shouldn't have been in those positions. If you did have people in upper management that cared about their employees then they wasn't allowed do do as much with their employees and the whole department always got yelled at no matter how good they did. The employees on the floor was great to work with because we had fun together but also got the job done.

Allura was a not a good place to work. It had potential but fell short, obviously, as it went out of business. Probably should have taken 15 minutes Monday morning to fix a known issue instead of fighting all week until it breaks completely 1.5 days prior to end of run. But work ethic and liars make ME unacceptable(honest). The one very bright spot was the safety coordinator(a position I usually resent)but SB MD was awesome. And most of the maintenance guys were pretty great, oddly enough

They told us if we were vaccinated & needed to quarantine they would pay us to do so. They sent me home, used my sick days without my authorization instead of the covid pay I was promised (I am vaccinated) and they pretty much told me “oh well” about the whole thing. The schedule is pretty good(7 12 hour days on, 7 days off) more time with family on off week but if you live more than 5 minutes away it was a real hassle working 12 hour days and driving 45 mins home. 

12hrs a shift hot in the summer and cold in the winter very dusty and nasty work conditions on the floor we have to work in wet conditions also management is a joke they could care less about your well being as long as you run enough product so they get their bonus every month I would not recommend working here I have been here for 5 years and I am looking to leave
