Pros

Company closes at 4:30 PM

Cons

They talk a lot about how wonderful they are, but the truth is they’re conceited, deceitful, and entitled. Don’t believe management responses here.

Pros

In Vancouver, WA near Columbia Tech Center

Cons

Low pay, poor benefits -even after the acquisition, PTO is use it or lose it, no 401k match Was family owned. Only members of family are in management. Family members are distrustful, uncaring - even the most loyal and hard working employees feel uneasy. Sold off to a poorly managed holding company that many believe is prepping to shutdown within a year after selling the brand. Employees are afraid and are left with the choice of looking for other jobs or waiting for unemployment. Not a good environment, and no change on the horizon. Definition of a dead end job.

Thank you for your feedback. Any time a company moves in a new direction that change can feel unfamiliar or even frustrating to some. Under new leadership we've continued to grow. With that growth, we've also continued to expand our benefits. Our PTO policy is no longer use it or lose it, and allows employees to accrue and even get paid out un-redeemed PTO if they wish. And beginning in 2018 we've expanded that policy to add another five paid holidays (including two floating holidays) and an extra day of PTO. We continue to review our benefits package and every position's compensation on a regular basis to make sure we're providing a comprehensive and competitive employment package to our valued team. There is no merit to any notions that Alpha-Tec will shut down. I sincerely hope that our continued growth and determined effort to expand our benefits are evidence of that. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

Very odd place

Pros

About the only thing this company has going for it is work-life balance. I think there are some good employees but no one trusts each other and the whole place has such an off vibe that it's hard to tell for sure.

Cons

The family runs everything and they're all very odd personalities. If you get a strange feeling during an interview, know it only gets worse when you start. Listen to your gut.
