Pros

- Extremely fast paced and energetic culture. - All hands on deck mentality, teams are willing to jump in and help achieve our goals. - Very agile, everyone adapts quickly and competently to change and adversity.

Cons

- Ferrero (parent company to Ferrara) has recently assumed ownership of the Nestle confections business, which will operate under Ferrara leadership. This has opened many selling doors, but has made some of the day to day work more complex. Like any acquisition, things will be messy, but with a leadership team that embraces change and workforce feedback I am not at all concerned with the current growing pains.

Lost leadership with an extreme lack of awareness

Business Outlook

Pros

The company has decent benefits and pays relatively competitively. There are many very smart people in all departments, and generally the environment is not bad.

Cons

Leadership that has no focus, refuses to hold themselves accountable, and has not had a winning strategy in 5 years. The CEO is fond of saying all the right things and throwing around all the correct buzzwords, but repeating the same mistakes over and over. A stunning lack of diversity, and seemingly no plans to change that. A large amount of bad management permeates the company, with no resources to change that.
