Lower Level Management is good but leadership is a failure - Analyst Ferrara Candy Company Employee Review

Pros

Work From Home one day a week

Cons

Office does not have the same amenities as most companies Nepotism rampant (all the VPs are friends of the CEOs son, all unqualified) The average employee stays under 2 years due to mismanagement of priorities by management Horrible corporate culture, employees are expected to come in early and stay late just to show face. It is the norm for everyone to eat lunch at their desks. The company outlook is very poor. It is clear management is struggling and does not have a solid plan for the future of the company.

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
