Thank you for your positive feedback and for recommending ALPLA as an employer. We are glad that you appreciate our benefit plan, the wellness program and our training opportunities. In fact, we believe that the success of our future depends on constantly developing our employees and supporting them in growing in our dynamic environment. If you feel like one of your colleagues got promoted too fast and is in the wrong position, we would recommend talking to the responsible manager. Our team is always happy to receive suggestions for improvement.

Pros

Growing company that cares about growing you. They are not reluctant to invest in your development. Great company to invest in long term. They are averaging about one new plant per year in the US, so there is opportunity for advancement if you're willing to relocate. Good management team. Expect to work for your check (that's a pro for me). No handouts.

Cons

Fair amount of machine breakdowns but is improving. Between the machine issues and customer demand varying, planning can sometimes change last minute. Plant floor has no air conditioning so it gets hot.
