Alder Employee Reviews about "people"

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.

Pros

For the most part it has good people

Cons

Long days and they control you like an employee but really you are a contractor.

Pros

the people you work with are awesome and often are going to college with you

Cons

the whole company only cares about sales

Pros

The people here are amazing. Everyone is so nice and ready to help you and answer any questions they might have. They provide FREE lunch every Friday which is a huge bonus!

Cons

Their training needs some work. With the high call volume they seem to not focus on training as much which results in being under prepared to take calls right away.

Pros

Great people to work with

Cons

Lack of transparency at times

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

Very flexible schedule and free lunch every Friday, as well as lots of free Alder gear (they are all about marketing their brand). They also try really hard to make working in the call center a fun and goal providing experience.

Cons

Management treats people in the call center or operations as kind of second class. Like most security and alarm companies, the focus is on the sales people, and everyone else is just kind of along for the ride. Plus, some of the sales reps do some rather shady things. If they focused on making their sales force more ethical and focused on the customer rather than just the sale.

Pros

Free snacks, building was nice

Cons

This company employs some of the worst people I have ever met in my entire life. I have never been so over worked, under valued and underpaid in my life. Working with the licensing department sent me to intensive therapy. By far the rudest people I have ever met. They are power hungry, mean, petty, dishonest, and I consistently felt that they were trying to make me fail. This company as a whole is dishonest. I witnessed extremally immoral, explicit, disgusting conversations by the leaders of the company during my time there. Every time a concern was brought up it was immediately dismissed.

Pros

Free snacks. That’s it. Literally.

Cons

This was the worst company I have ever worked for. They extremely overpromise and absolutely never deliver. The amount of things I was told would change and never did is ridiculous. I consistently watched management be dishonest and straight up lie to their employees. Other staff made working there absolutely miserable and set you up to fail. I listened to disgusting and inappropriate conversations from “upper management” and was even the subject of these conversations sometimes. Extreme sexual harassment from a specific employee and when reported it was laughed about. The only good people I knew there no longer work there due to the same complaints :)

Pros

Good friends Good Events Committee Good People Department Good food on Fridays Good conversations Softball is fun with our executives

Cons

Extremely stressful Not paid enough Good at selling a pipe dream No resources from having techs to saving customers Your bonuses are also a pipe dream You never know if you are doing anything wrong and then they expect you to already know Intimidation tactics are their best selling points. Manager don’t know anything shout the department.
