Alpha

As someone who has joined in the last six months, I can only speak second-hand about what transpired over the last few years. What I can say is this - it is very clear to me that things have changed and the company has a renewed momentum.

My observation of management is that they listened, were humbled, and are actively taking steps to improve based on employee feedback. You hear that a lot and most of the time it ends up being lip service, but not here. No one is perfect and change doesn't happen overnight, but the key indicators are there. What Alpha needs now to help even more is an influx of talented people. 

Someone that's trying to read between the lines may interpret that as me saying that people are overworked or that the current employee base isn't competent enough. There is an extremely talented and passionate employee base that cares very much about the quality of their work. Alpha is actively hiring. They're not afraid of increasing headcount to deliver the results that the company strives for. Right now is a great time to be looking for a career with Alpha. In multiple areas of the business, you could have the opportunity to come in and help define what success looks like long-term within your department.

If you were on the fence, like I was, after reading through some of these reviews, do yourself a favor and take a chance on Alpha. The vast majority of poor reviews occurred more than 18-24 months ago. No one at Alpha during my interview process tried to hide that. They owned it, discussed it openly, and won me over as a result.

Revolving door of installation technicians due to a history of underpaid employees and unkept promises.  Highest turnover in any group I've been a part of, over 28 years of experience.  Management, which I was a part of consistently underpays Installers who are also responsible for overcoming engineering and poor planning obstacles, and are consistently blamed for this performance which is remarkable to me.  Management will put a band aid on this buy offering small "bonuses", that have proven meaningless to over-worked underpaid workers.  Upper management makes this problem worse by trying to save money and making last minute hires only when absolutely needed.  Management preaches accountability, and integrity, but , I can tell you first hand up has no concept of what these words actually mean, upper management is playing the CEO, big time. 

CEO is still figuring out how to be Sole owner after buying out business partner.  Adding/defining good process but surprising more process isn’t already defined for a 40+ year old company.   Good investments in tools and taking time to develop good process with lots of team/employee involvement.

Zero job security, massive unexpected turnover, bad benefits, supervisor lies, sets you up and throws you under the bus, they check your Facebook page and fire you for having a life outside of work, no work/life balance, policies and pay structure changes quickly and unpredictably, unfair and surprising punishment and reviews, mysterious work expectations and hypocrisy.  Overwork, rework and fear-based culture and morale.

Fast moving company with growing pains as processes change. Process can feel unorganized at times. Work life balance is a little off as some months feel like 24/7 and some months feel empty. Overall great people, great clients.

Alpha Video gave me an opportunity to further my graphic design skills and move forward with my career.  The people there were a family and they provided a supportive relaxed working invironment.

The manager for the PM department is wonderful and listens to everyone's ideas and problems. The community at Alpha Video is one of the best I have witnessed in a workplace and they truly care about their employees there. I highly recommend this workplace. 

I really enjoyed my time at Alpha.  Great company and great people.  Inclusive environment and fast paced work place. Always new challenges. Highly recommend it!

Terrible leadership that starts with the CEO. The other leaders are real terrible to employees that is why everyone is leaving in this job market. There are many more companies that are hiring.
