It has been 5 years since Andrea Vonk first joined the
AutoAlert family. When she first started it wasn’t as
large as it is today, she has seen this company go from
25 employees to 100+. Her vision for this company
is to see its continued growth and success while it
maintains its small company feel. “AutoAlert has a
genuine interest in both their employee’s personal
and professional lives. I have always felt welcomed,
valued and respected.” Thank you Andrea for your
dedication, kind words and hard work!!!!
I was blessed with the opportunity to start working
for AutoAlert five years ago. Only a few days after I
started I attended my first AutoAlert “Staff” meeting.
It was Boyd, Jeff, Levko, Keith, Joey, Coco, Henly and I,
with John Repetto on speaker phone around a small
kitchen sized table with Thai takeout. I remember
listening to everyone speaking “passionately” about
the product, current successes and issues needing
attention. I will never forget because I remember
looking around and thinking to myself that this is one

AutoAlert Business Operations Internship is a paid
opportunity for college students (or soon to be college

Handbook goal is two-fold…Provide excellent
experience and training for the next generation of
workers and much needed support for the tasks
of each and every department that fall within the
intern team’s skill set. What’s it take to become an
Intern at AutoAlert? Well, you have to be a student
for starters (meaning you must be enrolled in
college). In addition, you must be able to commit
to at least two months of full or part-time work.
Each intern will interview with Special Operations
and be selected based upon qualifications and
business needs at the time. If you know someone
who would be a good fit for this program, please
send an email to Joe LaClare (joe.laclare@autoalert.
com) for further details.
