Ferrara - Director Ferrara Candy Company Employee Review

Pros

This company has gone through a lot of change in a very short timespan, which can be stressful, but can mostly be fulfilling. You always have something to strive for improving every day. Ideas, if proven worthy through data and/or sound logic, are accepted without going through a bureaucratic nightmare. The growth at this company has been great. I have been given opportunities, as well others, to go into other areas of the business that I hadn’t had much experience in. I also believe the DEI program is working. It will never be perfect, but I’m starting see women and people of diverse backgrounds in Director level positions. This is helping with a well rounded perspective on things and Ferrara is more of a reflection of the community we serve than ever.

Cons

There are some cons but I would rather share them directly with Senior leadership rather than on an open forum anonymously.

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
