Alpha Guardian Reviews

Verbally abusive, arrogant and pompous owner to start. I would imagine in his mind he's trying to motivate however it has the exact opposite effect on his employees. The President is the same for Cannon, GunVault and Stack-On and he has a few rules in place that you'll immediately notice upfront as odd. The on-line DISC assessment I have seen before from other companies however you're also required to read the book "Rockefeller Habits" before you have your 1st interview which is basically their bible for running the business. They live and breath quotes and passages out of it. They also operate day to day off the sales program Gazelle's which is nothing more than a generic template for running a team of employees. A truly effective leader doesn't need to pay the extremely high expense for such a snake-oil program and can lead on his or her own, possibly through a much less expensive CRM system. The President is stuck with an "it's always been this way" track of doing business and the majority of it is smoke and mirrors - it's all for optics to make it appear his team is working in a productive manner. You'll need to make sure a company issued "Core Values Coin" is in your pocket at ALL TIMES, in the office and outside on travel. I never heard what happens if they catch you without the coin but then again I never wanted to find out. Keep in mind they say the company reflects these core values, such as "Trust" and "Actions Speak Louder Than Words", but I can tell you it's all for show and the epitome of hypocritical. Also, you'll be required to routinely read certain books the President has handpicked for each of the employees to read, in which you're required to write a book report for each one. These books are an extension to the generic models of running a business and do nothing to address the REAL problems they, and their customers, face. I truly feel sorry for the guys who come over from Stack-On, they're in for a huge culture shock.

Sad story about little company buys larger company and the management doesn't have a clue about manufacturing and making money. There in way over there head, give company in Illinois 6 months before they have to close the doors and ship product to Mexico.
