Had lots of potential but ended up being terrible! - Customer Service Representative Allegro Coffee Employee Review

Pros

As part of the Whole Foods network, the benefits are good and there are nice extras like discounts at Whole Foods stores (min 20%) and lots of free coffee (it mattered!). The facilities are nice, regular hours. I support the mission of the company and it felt like a good product and a good mission.

Cons

There is absolutely no mobility within the company. The deal breaker for me was there there was no culture of conflict resolution when I was there, so the workplace grew increasingly hostile for me. I am hoping things have changed since I was there.

Pros

One potential advantage of working at Allegro is that it operates as a subsidiary of Whole Foods Market and Amazon, which could present opportunities for upward mobility and career advancement within the larger corporate network. This connection might provide employees access to broader resources, training, and opportunities across the parent companies.

Cons

Allegro, once a respected leader in the coffee industry, has been stripped of its talent, brand equity, and culture. Rather than expanding, the company is shrinking, with constant speculation that Amazon will sell it off when the opportunity arises. Morale is low, and what was once a bustling manufacturing facility is now slowing down with less work available. Whole Foods replaced the entire leadership team with loyalists, aligning with a pattern of cronyism and favoritism seen within the organization. Allegro feels like a sinking ship, and it would be wise to jump ship while there’s still time.
