“There are a lot of reasons I love my job but I think the best part about ALKU is the opportunity to grow within the company! I came into the job with no experience in the industry but they trusted the skill set I had and trained me thoroughly. From the beginning, it’s made clear that if you work hard, you will be rewarded and that’s proven to be true so far. I want to see ALKU continue to succeed and I am excited about to the idea of contributing in more ways in the future.”

“When I made the move to Boston last summer, I didn’t have many friends in the area. So I threw myself into my new job and within a short amount of time, my co-workers became some of my best friends! The energy in the office is always fun and friendly. Not a day goes by where I don’t find myself laughing and I think everyone in the office can say the same thing.”

“Aside from the social aspects, we always find ways to praise each other on a job well done and that really motivates me to continue working hard. We work with urgency which could be a stressful setting for another company, but at ALKU I think we feed off of it and produce better work because of it.”

“I couldn’t have dreamed up a better job to have right out of school! I knew nothing about this industry but my co-workers were patient with me, they never made me feel inferior for asking questions, and they are always encouraging. When I started feeling solidified in my position, I knew I was trusted enough to make my role my own and any new ideas I contribute are always valued by upper management. In summary, the culture here is energetic, fast-paced, and motivational!”
