Reviews about "great people"
Return to all Reviews- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great sales people and team trains well
Cons
Ended up not making what I should have because of their pay model. Read the paperwork. Its kind of a scam.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Free food Friday’s, good pay, and great people
Cons
It can get repetitive and boring. It lacks in incentives and morale. Sometimes feels like management doesn’t care about their agents.

- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Great people to work with
Cons
Lack of transparency at times
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
You get to travel to new states and get to meet some great people. The company does pay for some trips if you meet requirements.
Cons
Management of a certain team really needs to learn better leadership skills. I wouldn’t recommend females for this job because I’ve seen how girls are treated in some teams. Some of the workers use unethical methods to sell the product as well.

Pros
Great people, values and culture
Cons
Not a proper fit for me
- Current Contractor, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Great teams. Great people to work with. Reasonable.
Cons
They can try to keep you there forever.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great family feel with a fun environment. Great pay and advancement opportunities make it a good environment for people to move up the ladder for non-students. For students there is a scholarship and internship program.
Cons
There aren't really cons. The company is obviously not a good fit for people with a minimalist work ethic. If you are driven, this is a great fit for you.
Continue readingThank you for this comment. Family is indeed Everything at Alder and we do strive for a fun environment. Thank you for your drive and passion, our Employees are the best part of the company!
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
They have a big building. There's a soda machine. Crossfit. There are some great people at Alder. The business seems to be doing well so if you wanted to work here for some reason, they should still be around. Oh yeah, and they have those cool Dyson hand dryers in the bathroom. Those things are cool.
Cons
Honestly the worst work environment I've ever been in. I heard disturbing racist and sexist comments more than once from leadership. There's no hope to move up because things are so disorganized. They only care about the sales guys. The pay is bad and there are literally no benefits. It's no wonder that people don't stay here long. Solid 1 star reviews makes it look like I just clicked all 1s because I didn't like Alder, but honestly each were considered individually. I would never recommend anyone I cared about work there.

VP, People
Thank you so much for speaking up! You have hit the highlights very well. We're proud of our crossfit facility and coaching program that has helped improve the health and well-being of so many of our employees. You're also correct that our business is not only doing well, but thriving. We continue to be one of the fastest growing businesses in Utah. You are also correct on the work environment. We are still considered a "startup" business and as such, we haven't had policies or training regarding Diversity and Inclusion (anti-harrassment) yet. Our people team is working on developing that and we are saddened to hear that we weren't able to address your concerns before you left. If any employee feels as though they've been treated unfairly, we encourage them to contact us at OpenDoor@Alder.com You are also correct that our focus tends to be on Sales as that is what drives the growth of the business. We would clarify on the statement "they only care about the sales guys" as that is simply not true at all. We look to make many improvements in the coming months and years, but we can't do that without the feedback from our employees. Thank you for speaking up.
