Pros

This company has gone through a lot of change in a very short timespan, which can be stressful, but can mostly be fulfilling. You always have something to strive for improving every day. Ideas, if proven worthy through data and/or sound logic, are accepted without going through a bureaucratic nightmare. The growth at this company has been great. I have been given opportunities, as well others, to go into other areas of the business that I hadn’t had much experience in. I also believe the DEI program is working. It will never be perfect, but I’m starting see women and people of diverse backgrounds in Director level positions. This is helping with a well rounded perspective on things and Ferrara is more of a reflection of the community we serve than ever.

Cons

There are some cons but I would rather share them directly with Senior leadership rather than on an open forum anonymously.

Pros

Really great employees, nice benefits

Cons

There is no work life balance here. Management does not listen to employee concerns, which has lead to a lot of people leaving the company recently. A ton of money was wasted on a big fancy office and now employees are being forced to return to office in person, when most have voiced the want for fully remote work. New CEO is old school and doesn’t care about the company. Totally different from old CEO Todd Siwak. Everyone is overworked and undervalued. This company seems really like a really great place at first because you’re reeled in with a bunch of perks, but it doesn’t last. Run. Run fast.
