Pros

Good company for people who want to grow, learn the business, and take on responsibility. Citarella values employee loyalty, and many employees have been with the company for a long time, which creates stability and a strong base of internal knowledge.

Cons

As a legacy company, some processes and systems feel old-school. The technology stack is behind what you might find in more modern organizations, and some workflows are still manual or outdated. There is a lot of opportunity for improvement and modernization, but change can move slowly.
