I honestly liked it but they will NOT promote you. For all the reviews saying there’s great growth, they’re lying. - Zone Leader AlphaBEST Employee Review

Thank you for your feedback, and for the contributions you made during your time at AlphaBEST. I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed sharing our curriculum with AlphaBEST’s students, and that your coworkers were a positive part of your AlphaBEST experience. AlphaBEST does promote heavily from within and we are always looking to advance team members who embody our Core Values. Specifically, we are looking for those who have a passion for learning, can take responsibility, and who look at challenges in a positive light. No one should ever “expect” a promotion, as it is a reward for consistently giving your BEST and often requires you to do more than you signed on for. I am available to all team members who feel they are not thriving in our organization. I wish you had reached out with your concerns before becoming a “former employee,” as we strive to provide guidance and mentorship to help our employees identify and work toward their career goals. I always feel there is more to learn, and would welcome a conversation with you to discuss your experience during your time at AlphaBEST. Please feel free to reach out to me at lmoynagh@alphabest.org. Best, Laura Moynagh Director, Talent & Culture

Pros

Very very kind and understanding management. I really like them as people. I've heard through the grapevine that there is dissonance among them sometimes but maybe that's normal, idk i've never been in a middle/upper management position. I've always been treated with kindness and empathy for my situations, and they will try to reach a middle ground as long as it doesn't come out of their pocket. Cool career advancing opportunities that I just never took advantage of.

Cons

OH MY do they suck at communication. Not all of them, but a couple ones yea for sure. They will always prioritize their pocket against your wallet. If you are looking for a full time director position this one is NOT it and barely pays my bills. It worked for some people but just didn't for me. In the interview for a director position ask them to be upfront with the hours specific to the location they are hiring you for. Maybe email it to them after idk just know that you will never get full time 40 here.
