alliantgroup, LP reviews

I was a full-time employee with alliantgroup - taking a chance after reading all the negative reviews. I was sorry after 3 months time. This was the worst job I have ever had in my whole career history. The reviews that describe the company as cult-like are very true. You're either with the "in" crowd, or you're completely ostracized until you quit. This CEO rules by fear, you are beaten down until you think that you are no longer capable of getting a new job. The amount of mental abuse is deplorable. You feel bad for your friends that you see take it, and you're terrified you'll be next. You completely give up all of your free time, and you are given no choice but to do so. You eat, sleep, and breathe this company, and dread your everyday at it. I honestly don't know how people last there for any significant amount of time. The salary is considerable, but the money becomes not worth it. I actually took a pay cut to leave and take another job. I read a review that stated you will never recover when you leave this job - and it's true. I feel a touch of PTSD to this day whenever I make a mistake. It is truly a terrible environment, and it does take some time to recover from being employed there. It sounds very dramatic, but it is the most accurate description. Don't be fooled, trust the reviews, and look for a company with better ethics, consideration, and culture. You will not regretting passing this one by.

I don't like reading walls of text so I will spare you and give you some bullet points instead: -The most revolting company culture I have ever had the unfortunate luck to be around. The cult of personality around the CEO is off-putting. During the Christmas party, he would not let it start until he heard enough toasts to him on stage by his subordinates. This lasted about 20 minutes before the party started. -This “great pay” for bad work sentiment is a myth for anyone with a business degree. It is not good pay. -The work/life balance is poor. -They hire girls based on looks. This is not an exaggeration. I have been in on some of these hiring discussions. -The actual work is dull, formulaic, and uninspired. -The billing practices felt unethical at best and illegal at worst. The lowest employees are given the worst “billable” customers and berated in team meetings for not meeting billable goals. Therefore, they knowingly put pressure on you to either falsify billable hours to meet quota OR keep taking the punishment for not hitting billable goals. -Mandatory lip syncing and costume parties. This is not an exaggeration or metaphor. -They provide food for lunch every work day and dinner during tax season. Obviously, they don’t want you to leave. This has been mentioned on countless reviews. However, the food was not great. Sometimes they would have a decent national chain come in, but usually it was underwhelming and I would rather walk to the Galleria. -It is a terrible place to work. If you have other options, I would strongly suggest you take a harder look at them.
