Pros

Free candy at all times and there are some great people individually. Also the office is nice.

Cons

Unfortunately working at Ferrara in the brand side is like taking a trip back to middle school. Politics from Chicago and Italy run the show and the popular/mean girls lunch table from middle school is now in your work place. Nothing is confidential, nothing is improved. Great employees leave because of being sick of the politics. If you’re reading this and want to join Ferrara, do yourself a favor and ask to talk to people at all levels of the org. Only way to get a good gauge.

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
