Pros

The pay and benefits are competitive. Free lunch - daily at the Chicago factory's and Friday's at the headquarters

Cons

- No work-life balance - No collaboration between departments, each department is out for themselves - Product changes are based on savings with little regard to customer preference - The atmosphere at Ferrara is very poor due to unrealistic goals and high turnover - Indecisiveness towards factory closures. Announcements made and then retracted. Creates very poor moral and reduces loyalty - Focus is on divesting the company which is generating mostly poor decisions from management. - Too many consultants driving the business.
