Don't go down with the ship

Pros

There were good people who gave it their best in spite of management.

Cons

Top floor execs have managed to take a viable company and destroy it. The CEO has surrounded himself with yes people. If anyone disagrees they're dismissed on the spot. The stock has fallen to pennystock and they have creditors demanding payment. They have now started dismissing veteran employees in favor of cheaper newcomers fresh out of school. There's a level of secrecy everwhere, as it seems the real plan is a need to know and the working class isnt deserving. Don't get on a ruderless ship.

Pros

The changes in executive leadership and the cohesive direction is strong! I joined for two reasons: One, the interview questions showed me Alphatec's values and what the company's culture is; Second, the vision and direction under Jim's leadership. The benefits are great and the opportunity for career development is opportunistic.

Cons

No Con's - I have enjoyed working at Alphatec

Good employment

Pros

The company currently has fair pay and compensation which includes: Salary, Bonus (annually and unlikely to be dependable given the current cost cutting measures), vacation (2 weeks start increasing as you stay longer) 401(k) match (50% up to 5% of your contribution), Health Savings Account (company contributes $1.5K), Employee Stock Purchase Plan (max 20% of your gross income at a 15% discount, PPO option (which seems to be the smartest over the HMO for most people when all costs are considered). The environment is professional and mostly a good place to work with occasional celebrations and catered meetings. Overall, I am happy as an employee and would encourage employment here.

Cons

Volatile - The company is constantly trying to fix itself with little success. It has almost never been profitable and the stock slopes down. There have been major layoffs every 4 or 5 years. Now the company has chosen to stop manufacturing its own product. There is no telling whether this will be good or not for the company but many of us are hopeful. Many good employees have left to more stable work environments, but that might just be emotional because, other than the lack of raises, most people's jobs are not ill-effected.
