There is no denying their coffee is topnotch. But I know firsthand that the 'public image & culture of Alterra" does not match the reality of what it's like to work at & for Alterra. The owners didn't get where they are by taking financial advantage of the poor coffee growers - instead, they got rich on the backs of all their local employees- past & present. That's the dirty little secret about Alterra- everybody equates how good their coffee is with how good they are as people, and as an employer. But they aren't. In fact, the only thing that matters to them is money- not loyalty, committment, friendship, or hard work. And there are plenty of former employees that HATE Alterra for screwing them over. If there isn't a support group for post-Alterrians, then there should be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
