Pros

Clients were sometimes nice, coworkers were cool

Cons

-literally zero training… expected me to shadow coworkers for 5 months -they hired me knowing I wouldn’t have any clients for several months, so there was zero work for me to do while I was there. Asked management for some direction or extra work to do but they kept telling me to shadow. To me this just shows I was nothing but a number to fill their contract and no management -basically no room for growth -they’ll make you clean the office once a week -disregard for employees safety. A client was repeatedly threatening my Coworker but the company never did anything about it **to anyone looking to work here, do NOT waste your time. Came here fresh out of college and the experience left me completely jaded and hopeless. Originally wanted to make a difference in the world but after working at Alpha, I’ve transitioned out of social work and SO much happier! After getting a job for a company that actually cares about its employees, I am just now realizing how awful Alpha was ran.

Pros

Some of the clients are nice

Cons

-disorganized -will hire you for a role without having any work for you to do. I was hired, then later told I wouldn't have any clients of my own for another 5 months months when the next housing project was done, then management criticized me for "not doing enough"... they expected me to just shadow people or make up random office work to do for 5 months?? demoralizing -don't go out of their way to protect employees from abusive clients -no training -no help for upper management -seems like its just a money making scheme for the hire ups
