Pros

If you enjoy indentured servitude, this is the place for you.

Cons

The ALS Group is a revolving door company. Employees come and go faster than the daily newspaper. While I worked at ALS, a small company of about 12 employees (including management), I saw nearly 30 employees either quit or be fired in less than a year. Employees can and have been fired on a moments notice because of how the owner simply feels that day. There is absolutely no job security at the ALS Group and it will be your biggest mistake to leave any job to join this company. If you are desperate enough to take this job, do not be fooled by the 830 to 530 workday. You will be given no formal training, but you will be handed an 80 page manual that the owner expects you to memorize. You will be expected to work 55 to 60 hours a week minimum. You will answer emails at night and on the weekends. You will have no work life balance. You will be constantly lectured by the owner and his family on how they are paying you their money, paying your bills, and allowing you to provide for your family as if his money was a gift from God. The worst part is that the owner knows he has anger issues and that he is running his company more like a sweat shop than a place of business. He simply does not care and he will never change. Do not be fooled by the positive reviews on this website, they are fabrications written by the owner and his family in order to boost their standing on this website. Every single positive review was written by the management or his family.

Pros

It is hard for me to believe these negative reviews are real. I have been working at The ALS Group for over a year and I have learned a lot and think management is fair and professional. Management is family but they make feel like family too. They encourages us to be inquisitive and be the best we can be. Whoever is paying these negative comments simply has some axe to grind.

Cons

None - I really enjoy working here!

Pros

It looks fancy but internally its all broken.

Cons

Worst people i have come across in life. The founder's kids have a lot of control and the rules seem different for them. They have arrogant attitudes while the rest of the team is pushed to work long hours. Nights and weekends slowly become normal if you want to keep up. Training is almost nonexistent. You are handed a pile of work and expected to figure it out on your own. Most of the software looks ancient and slows everything down. Even basic tasks take way longer than they should. Logging billable time turns into its own annoying chore. Management mainly cares about billable hours and nothing else. Projects get thrown at you with little explanation. When something goes wrong, the blame lands on the team instead of leadership. Between the outdated systems, confusing direction, and strange decisions from the top, the company ends up with a lot of problems that never really get solved.
