They mean well, but execute poorly - Anonymous employee Allegro Coffee Employee Review

the people are nice and lookafter each other

going through a transition with parent company

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.

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.
