Pros

Ferrara has great brands with lots of growth potential. If you do your job well you can get promoted quickly. Access to senior management is unlike anywhere else I have worked.

Cons

Ferrara sometimes makes decisions too quickly without thinking about the big picture which causes work churn for employees. Some financial decisions that leadership makes are not sound which makes it challenging to profitably grow the business.

Pros

Iconic brands Capable coworkers Cool office, and good location Real opportunities to build tangible experience

Cons

Very cut throat / unforgiving culture Poor work / life balance Poor IT systems Unrealistic deadlines, “Ferrara Fast” High employee turnover Most work is churn at the corporate level, does not feed into proper decisions / strategy execution at the executive level Short term performance management, worse than Private Equity companies. Week to week performance reviews of the business, leading to substandard results in market and serious risk of long term underperformance
