Overall Alliant is a good place to work

Pros

work-Life balance. It used to be much better. There are some very good people that work there.

Cons

not very much ability to move up in company. Most engineers stay there for a long time. Pay is not competitive with other markets. Management is definitely a click and movement into management is not very likely.

Pros

Conversion Crew Pays well for very hard labor in timely precision. It's a good job with lots of fun aspects (one can experience a lot of different events, trades shows, etc. even in just one day there). It's a relaxed atmosphere in general.

Cons

No personal lockers at work. One supervisor is a misogynist pig. Right off the bat, he made suggestive comments to me, and later called another woman a big fat slob and that was in front of others in the room. Hours are difficult for some, but that's the trade off for a solid job that pays, and a loosely put together method of getting jobs done (for instance, no back up when someone is a no show, resulting in less people to handle an event). We only had three people working the entire coliseum (bathroom monitor for 6000 people?
