Pros

Employees all get along well

Cons

I can assure you as a former employee every negative review is 100% truthful as well as that every positive review written about the company has been written by current employees due to advice from management about having a 'negative image' Honestly don't waste you're time, whether you attend the 'interview' day (interview used very loosely as all team leaders do is try to convince you to take the job rather than the other way around. So much so they are given a script to follow throughout the day) and decide it's not for you or waste 6 months or more of your life trying to complete their 'management training programme' eventually everyone ends up leaving and in the same boat. You're constantly told this business is the only way to be successful (not true) Constantly told people not working commission based jobs are unsuccessful (not true) And also constantly told working 13 hours a day (where you can only actually earn money for about 4/5 hours of the day) is the best idea in the world (not true) Theoretically for someone to be considered 'successful' in this job they would be earning 500/600 a week which initially sounds attractive however working 6 days a week 13 hours a day equates this to 7.70 an hour... not as attractive Also I can not express more how unlikely it is someone in this business is making £100 a day. 100% it is possible as it is uncapped earnings however it is a business purely based on image. To those at entry level team leaders look extremely successful however on average they're not earning that much more than you It's a business run purely on the naivety of young people and brainwashing them into thinking they have the best job in the world when realistically they would make more money in a McDonald's uniform.

Hi, Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We would just like to provide some clarity on our interview process. Transparency is something that we take very seriously. Our interview process is specifically designed to give our candidates a comprehensive understanding of what our opportunities entail. We feel that our three-stage interview process helps our candidates decide if they will be suitable for one of our opportunities, Our commission structure allows our contractors to gain uncapped earnings, which we consider to be a positive and is a feature that many of our professionals have used to their advantage. We are sorry that you didn’t enjoy your time with us. We wish you all the best in your future career and all your endeavours.

Pros

I haven't worked for Alpha Innova for that long but in the short period of time that I have i've been give every opportunity to progress and be helped to do so. The management team make sure you have all the skills and tools that you need to progress in the business and I have learnt a lot in the short time I have been here. So far I have learnt so many skills in business, customer service, sales, marketing and leadership and I know that I will have a very long and successful career with Alpha Innova. I had moved from a similar role where I was promised the world and nothing ever materialised but with this company I know the hard work i put in will most definitely pay off, I have been promoted once already and I really enjoy coming to work every day which not many people can say.

Cons

Its a really face paced working environment so you have to be on your toes, but the managers and leaders make sure nobody is ever left behind and its great to have such a positive working environment.
