Terrible place to work

Pros

You can tell your family you have a job.

Cons

A little piece of your soul turns black and dies every day you go to work at Alcami. No matter what you do, or how hard you work, it will never be good enough for the soul sucking management at Alcami. And if you don't like it, well, there's the door!! (Management is quite proud of that attitude) Say good-bye to ever getting recognized or appreciated for the hard work you do. Their management style is to systematically pick at you to make you feel as if you need to do a little bit more to be successful...stay a little later, work weekends...only it never, ever, will it ever, be good enough. You will always be chasing the proverbial carrot. This is a mind game they play to get everyone to work harder, faster, and longer hours. Run away.

Pros

It's not quite a prison - You do receive a check regularly. Average benefits and pay. Beware if you are salaried. You may meet a few good coworkers. And that's where it ends.

Cons

This place is utterly soul crushing. Management cares only about output and the bottom line. They constantly put the cart before the horse and make unrealistic promises to customers. This in turn creates chaos, disorganization, and puts strain on the diminished workforce. More stress and strain leads to mistakes and errors, downtime, and rework. Turnover is rampant, creating an even more stressful environment. Anyone that says, "Hey, that will not work or this is wrong" has a target painted on their back by management, and is likely walked out the door. Don't even bother giving a two week notice, you will likely be questioned and walked out immediately. Management turns a blind eye to the turnover and is content with overextending operations on barebones staffing. Weekends are considered regular weekdays, long hours are the norm. Remember that average pay? If you are salaried, that nice check doesn't matter as you are expected to work 12 -14 hours a day, 7 days a week, no overtime pay. I could go on and on, from poor equipment and facility status, lack of proper systems, lack of career development, favoritism, and blatant disrespect, but all you need to know is DO NOT WORK HERE! Would not wish this place on my worst enemy.
