Pros

Good if you are an engineer, company needs good engineers, particularly audio visual engineers.

Cons

Accountability needs to start at the top. Upper Manager will scramble to make himself look top notch to ownership as well as key players, while sabotaging own tech staff with poor hiring decisions. This company consistently puts too much pressure on lowest paid workers. Installation team consistently has to correct poor engineering to make projects work, poor and incomplete project packages. Installation techs are underpaid, and this results in a revolving door of installers. Upper Manager exacerbates this situation by trying to save money by underpaying installation techs, and putting out inconsistent messaging regarding hiring practices. Will consistently fire and re-hire versus trying to create an atmosphere of making technicians better. Company needs help with HR. High volatility.

Opportunities to work with professional broadcast and network technology solutions and learn marketable skills. The company is growing and successful. There is a sense that we have turned a corner from more challenging times.

Alpha has had some struggles through COVID and with supply chain issues, but we're adding new talent and investing in our people.

Pros

Very knowledgeable colleagues and fun projects.

Cons

The owner is unethical and instructs his management team to give negative reviews in an effort to not give out raises. Also, the audiovisual team is the lowest priority for the company.
