      Awesome

      Pros

      Plenty of room to grow as an individual and your technical skills. Alder gives you the ability to share your thoughts on how certain aspects can be approved, and those thoughts are heard and often times implemented.

      Cons

      not a lot. The lack of budgets can be a headache, but thats about it.

        Pros

        Alder helps employees develop into leaders. They almost always promote from within and give you opportunities to grow.

        Cons

        Cross department collaboration could use great improvements.

          High Up On the Food Chain, But Still A Mensch
          Former Employee, more than 10 years
          Orem, UT
          Recommend
          CEO Approval
          Business Outlook

          Pros

          If you are in your late 20's-30's with either no degree or a useless degree like Music Performance or something, OR if you are related to Schanz by blood or marriage, then Alder is literally the best place you could be. Or if you are an ex or current convict, Alder will take a chance on you. Sounds like a joke but it is not. They are all about taking people that society has rejected and giving them a chance (for less than industry standard pay of course) They do not care at all about a college degree or any of your credentials. OR if you are a Harvard MBA that has somehow become a peon, this is also a great place for you. (There have legit been a couple of those here too)

          Cons

          If you have even an ounce of recognized credentials, run. This place has no benefits other than newly introduced, subpar health insurance, no HR, no structure, no retirement, no reason to exist for you. Take your degree (unless it is a Harvard MBA for some reason) and get a 401k match like a normal human being. Please. You will be miserable here if you stay. Unless you are a degen, go somewhere, anywhere else.

        Hey everyone, Just needed to vent a bit about this job hunt. It's been a wild ride, to say the least. Lately, it feels like I'm sending my applications into a black hole, and I'm not alone in this, am I? Interviews seem to be the rarest gems, and job postings seem to disappear as soon as I hit 'apply.' Anyway, I'd love to hear your experiences. What's been your biggest frustration as a job seeker? How do you stay motivated in this crazy journey? Any words of wisdom or empathy to share?

        Marketing Manager

        What are people’s thoughts on those personality and logic tests some companies made you do as part of the hiring process? I frankly don’t like them. I understand if the test is for people who more technical but for roles leaning more creative or ideas based - I don’t understand how patterns I’m forced to review in a short time tells them I’m worth it to get the Hiring manager round. One asked me 50 ques in 15 min. And they never tell how you did on the tests

        Anyone have any stories of times where you declined an offer at one company (just because it wasn’t the exact right fit or you got another better offer at that time) and u successfully re-connect? Is that a burned bridge forever? Would they consider you for another job again?
