Alto Healthcare Staffing

I’ve been employed for just under a year through Alto and have yet to be able to work a shift. Every single shift I have requested, even the approved ones, they have been canceled. Several times, these shifts were canceled last minute, leaving me no time to find an alternative. When anyone says you can choose to work 8 or 12 hour shifts, that’s mostly untrue. You might get lucky and see an 8 listed here and there, but most are 12, and not shift hours that work with having children.
They blow up my phone with open shift alerts daily, but again, every single shift I’ve scheduled has been canceled without reason or ample warning. If you need to work full time or have any desire to truly work a shift, this agency is not the one for you. Getting callbacks is also not the easiest. Some facilities require orientation which is only provided monthly. You can call to try to set up to attend said orientation, but the callback timeline is so poor that I’ve missed the opportunity to attend three times and just gave up.

At alto I did the onboarding for people who were hired. I would make sure all of their paperwork was in compliance and they had all the job requirements complete such as backgrounds, drug screening, and vaccinations if needed. I did enjoy the job. However I kept getting things added to my workload that was not in my job duties such as doing things for the director. The culture was great at first but then turned for the worst. Your concerns were not heard from HR. If you went to HR with concerns they would tell the person you had issues with what you said. And that caused more issues. I was later laid off due to budget so they said and when I filed unemployment they lied and told them I was not a corporate work but i was field staff to get out of paying me unemployment. I enjoyed the busy work but I did not enjoy the people I worked with 

Posting payments-easy
I learned that they listened in on conversations when it benefited them to not give someone a raise versus them listening in on a conversation when they should have: when a manager yelled and screamed at their subordinate.
Management sucked except the manager I had.
The workplace culture was horrible as a whole and that was due to most of the upper management and the folks that got those bs titles that didn't mean anything.
A lot of talking out of the side of necks and no transparency, even though that word gets thrown around, A LOT.
The hardest part of the job was putting up with the BS all the time.
The most enjoyable part of the job was my 3 team members and the 6 people that I talked to in the other departments.

If you aren’t a part of the “in” crowd then count your time as limited. They lack any sympathy and coaching for new staff to help make them better and wonder why they have horrible turnover. The head of scheduling is cold-hearted, lacks empathy, openly shows favoritism, and leaves personal information that shouldn’t be seen on their desk. I’ve never worked anywhere where they use the term “family” as a culture, but shows such extreme favoritism to employees. Also allowing night time employees to leave doors unlocked and using “props” to keep the door open so they can go outside on breaks/smoke breaks on night shift when they aren’t supposed to causing a safety issues. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
A wonderful company and they actually care about you indefinitely. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Getting canceled at the last minute, when your ready to walk out the door.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
You go to different places to work. It's adventurous and exciting to meet new people and see how othe establishing businesses are ran.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Great atmospheres, everyone is so nice and I would definitely recommend this exciting place for per diem extra work.

This is a great company that has been in Dayton for over 20 years.  It has grown a lot since I have been here and the one thing that I know to be true with any job  is that if you show up every day and give your best, it will pay off.  It seems people get upset about being let go and put up terrible reviews, their had to be a reason that they are let go, because I see so many others that get promoted for working hard and hitting goals just like with any job.

It was nice being able to pick when and where i wanted to work. Gave me the option to control my work/life balance. 
Majority of the staff have your back, you are a "travel cna" so facilities can decide if they want to let you pick up shifts or not. 
Some staff in facilities will look down on you for being an agency worker but its usually because you are being paid more and have a more flexible schedule than them

Workers are often overworked wherever company sends us, and the company never speaks up or try to protect us. The permanent aides in the facilities will assign most of the residents to us the Agency sent staff and then spend the day lazing around while you run yourself to the ground.

Never have I have I been in a work environment with more nepotism, favoritism, and sexism going on in a workplace with less than 20 people.  Management does not care about your advancement and making you money in the long run.  Their processes and systems are outdated and favorite employees were rarely ever held accountable.  It is not a horrible place to work but you will gain nothing but experience in dealing with very unprofessional field employees and angry HR reps.

This was my FIRST agency, and I honestly didn’t know what to expect. They treat me with the upmost kindness and respect! They are VERY flexible with hours. As a mother of three young children my biggest concern in the work field and what I do for work was timing and I needed an understanding employer, I got exactly that with Alto!  I have recommended Alto to all my CNA friends! Great communication, great pay!
