Pros

I can't say enough about the wonderful team at our office. Everyone is genuinely kind and also very hardworking. My line manager addressed all my concerns during the interview and the reality has exceeded my expectations so far. Family is my first priority and I truly feel like I can bring my whole self to work and make a difference, but in a way that I still have the balance at home I need.

Cons

Our office is a little dated, but at the end of the day I'd rather the company invest in the brands and associates than our office space so I can live with that.

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
