Pros

Easy work, literally boxing packages or flipping trays of candy onto conveyer belts. Very little if any micromanagement. Above minimum wage.

Cons

Boring, brainless work. Forced overtime when demand is high and long layoffs, especially in the summer. There are "temps" who have been there for 4+ years.

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
