Pros

- Very strong executive management team - Most employees have strong passion for the business - Business is doing very well; growth outlook is strong - Ambitious sales organization; eager to win - Candy is a fun category in which to work! - Very transparent environment - it is clear where we're going, why we're going there and how we are planning to get there.

Cons

- Very new team: most employees have been at the company for less than three/four years - The candy industry moves very quickly and is highly seasonal, which means the SKU count is high and the category is complicated

Pros

Iconic brands Capable coworkers Cool office, and good location Real opportunities to build tangible experience

Cons

Very cut throat / unforgiving culture Poor work / life balance Poor IT systems Unrealistic deadlines, “Ferrara Fast” High employee turnover Most work is churn at the corporate level, does not feed into proper decisions / strategy execution at the executive level Short term performance management, worse than Private Equity companies. Week to week performance reviews of the business, leading to substandard results in market and serious risk of long term underperformance
