Alpla is a highly diverse and inclusive company providing world class benefits and competitive pay. There are multiple bonus programs, which are easily achieved and paid out. I was only with the company for a short time due to personal issues but I would highly recommend this company and the people.Cons
They have a very strict attendance policy within the first 90 days that does not allow for ANY issues of any kind. If you miss, you're out. No discussion, no excuses, no mercy.

1. Zachary, how and when did you first get in contact with ALPLA?
In the summer of 2010 I returned home from completing my second year at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) looking for a summer co-op (cooperative education) position in Mechanical Engineering. I called several local engineering and manufacturing companies and received a call back from the Operations Manager at ALPLA Cortland.
2. Why did you choose ALPLA?
ALPLA Cortland provided me a good balance of calculation/design work as well as hands-on production floor work for my co-op experiences. For full time, my familiarity with the company from the plant level helped influence my decision to accept the position with the regional service center.
3. When did you became a full time employee for ALPLA?
My two summers at ALPLA Cortland were 2010 and 2012. Full time at the Service Center in McDonough I began in June 2013.
4. What is your current position at ALPLA?
Project Engineer with the Program & Project Management department.

It is a good way to bring young talent into the company and establish the mindset and work ethic consistent with what ALPLA is looking for in its employees.
