Pros

Excellent culture. While the company has been around a long time, they really have the feel of a new company since they are growing and learning since their merger a few years ago. I worked in Oak Brook and visited many sites, one consistent trait was professionalism. People cared. The C-Level was always approachable and the company is doing an excellent job on building engagement and defining their future.

Cons

As with any place of work, you will have high performers and those who stall projects. Ferrara is no different and you have to make sure people are held accountable for what they are responsible for, and not be concerned that Sal hired them years ago so they get a free pass on execution.

Pros

Candy is overall a fun commodity. Getting to see and taste new products prior to distribution was a fun thing to do. Good pay and good benefits. A lot of good people.

Cons

The company is made from a merger with a company that was made of many different mergers. Without a power brand the marketing side was different from the major brands from the standpoint that smaller opportunities were in the mix but timelines were extremely compressed. The company is bringing together different cultures and finding a new forward looking personality. That sometimes causes angst.
