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

I found zero desirable attributes to describe working for this company.

Cons

Insensitive. Discriminatory. No compassion for work/life balance, even more so with the hourly workforce.
