Great time to join but not the culture for everyone - Executive Assistant Ferrara Candy Company Employee Review

Pros

- Highly agile culture - Experiencing a lot of growth and change - and FAST. Interesting time to join and be a part of this transformation. - A bit "scrappy" in that they're short resources in certain areas (which seems like a short term issue), but there's not a lot of red tape to get things done. Encourage ownership and pitching in where you see a need/room for improvement, which is great if you are a self-starter and can drive your own development.

Cons

- The current rapid growth is a bit "learn and pivot as you go" right now; not everyone will enjoy or find success in that environment. - The fast paced culture is great for some but definitely not for everyone. - This is not the workplace for those needing a ton of direction, hand-holding or overly prescriptive direction. Be ready to read between the lines and figure things out independently.

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
