Allied Beverage Group, L.L.C.

This place slowly wears you down and then points the finger at you when you start cracking. Pay never lines up with the effort, and leadership has a way of making every issue feel like a personal failure instead of a broken system. Upper management clearly plays favorites, lifting their inner circle while quietly blocking anyone else who shows real potential. The environment feels abusive in a subtle but constant way, like being talked down to and watched all the time. The ceo sets the tone, and it feels cold, punishing, and honestly evil when things go wrong. I left feeling smaller, constantly on edge, and wondering how a job could mess with someone’s head this much.

What really sticks with you is how quickly support disappears the moment you struggle. If life throws you a curveball or you fall behind even slightly, there is zero understanding. Instead of help, you get pressure and side comments that make you feel disposable. Mistakes are remembered forever, while good work is forgotten by the next meeting.

Growth here is basically a dead end unless you fit the exact image they want. Talented people are overlooked while less capable favorites climb without resistance. Promotions feel political, not earned, and after a while you stop trying because it never matters. By the time you realize how unhealthy it all is, your confidence is already shaken and your energy is gone.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Very supportive team of coworkers everybody works together! I miss it one of the best companies I’ve worked for by far! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The security team they hired is very annoying and investigates every little thing each person does and comes up with false accusations 99% of the time causing good dedicated hard working individuals to lose their jobs!!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very team oriented and everybody wants the same thing to go to work, do their job and go home to their loved ones but it was more than that very family Oriented environment where everyone feels like family.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Well it was when I worked there come in and start the day with good morning greetings to the office and all at the time my drivers and warehouse team! A lot of hard work and fast paced so the day goes by pretty quick. I’d often stay late to cover or help out others once my job was done

I worked at Breakthru Beverage before it merged with Allied.  At that time, it was a fantastic place to work and I would have recommended it highly.

I know management is trying hard to make the merger work - and I'm sure Allied itself is a wonderful employer.  But my advice is to STAY AWAY until the merger is complete.  It's chaotic, stressful and absolutely nobody wants to commute to Elizabeth.

Everyone is trying desperately to leave, the computer systems change daily, and nobody can figure out who does what.  The merger of the two ways of doing business, as well as the two computer systems and software, is NOT going well or smoothly.  

I'm sure this place will be good again.  It's not that way now.  Wait until long after the merger - maybe 2019 or 2020 - to consider working here.

The company claims to be family owned, but it is meaningless to employees because it operates no differently from any impersonal corporation that sees workers as disposable parts of a machine. Employees are easily replaceable, retention is ignored, and the high turnover rate is treated as irrelevant. The work atmosphere is hostile and toxic. People are constantly in a bad mood, and any friendliness from new employees disappears after a few months. There is no sense of support or community, only stress, frustration, and constant negativity. The so-called family-like environment is a sham, and if anything, it feels worse than a typical corporation.
