Thank you for your feedback and for recommending ALPLA as an employer. We totally agree that we attach high value to an open-minded and innovative work culture that allows diversity and new ways of thinking. Using the latest technologies and reaching our employees fullest potential by encouraging and enriching them every day has allowed us to grow constantly over the last decades. In 2010 we had for example just about 500 employees, in the year 2014 we reached 1000 and today ALPLA is proud of having employed over 1150 people. However, we are very cautious about not overpopulating plants in order to avoid possible lay-offs. Instead, building a strong and stable team that works together on a long-term basis has always been the focus of ALPLA.

Pros

Most people and monthly bonuses for good attendance are nice. I like the rotating 12 hour schedules because you'll work 3-4 days a week.

Cons

This is a super unorganized, unprepared start up in what's otherwise a massive global company that only cares about their bottom line. They're rushing to get new machines up, then are surprised when they mess up. Management has terrible communication and certain ones in production are disrespectful. One will tell you something then a week later you'll get told that's wrong and you already let bad parts go out. They'll promote you to give you more responsibilities, but you have to complain to get the correlated raise. You'll be expected to train new people (while getting very little training yourself) with no bonus pay. The turnover rate has been very high so people are constantly needing to be trained. Temps were promised permanent conversion after 3 months, but they suddenly stopped that in October while keeping them without benefits. This company is overall scummy. It can be easy money but the culture from management is so toxic.
