Pros
For those who thrive in creating their own path and working hard, this is an incredible opportunity. I loved working with our retail partnerships and fellow district reps. If you need constant oversight or need a regimented schedule, this could be a difficult job for you.
Cons
No clear path for advancement, management will breadcrumb you with promises for continued hard work, but no acknowledgment or celebrating individual wins. No true company culture; you’ll get trained up then never see anyone again. Impossible to get thoughtful responses about overall company vision. Changes are constantly made by managers with no SOPs, so you’re oftentimes left in confusion about processes and have to be reactive vs. proactive. Absolutely no work life balance. Expect calls from clients 8am -9pm, 7 days a week. Pulling teeth to get answers about commission structure. I did enjoy my time here, learned a lot. But as a whole, Alton Lane has a long way to go until it will feel fluid and smooth.
