Great Growing Company, but has it's growing pains - Director Ferrara Candy Company Employee Review

Great company with good benefits

None. Most benefits are good and office location is downtown

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

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
