Business Outlook

Pros

Ferrara was the most diverse organization that I ever encountered. Diversity and community service were important to their mission. The workforce is younger and open to new initiatives.

Cons

The workforce is younger and there was too much focus on supposed "generational" attitudes. I found this to be off-putting.
