Pros
- positive work environment - great people - People want to do good - Heath insurance is amazing - Companion travel if you have to travel to the HQ in Parma
Cons
- garbage commute, unless you live in Northern / North S̶o̶r̶e̶ Shore area - Recruiting and retaining competent and talented people is tough - excessively LEAN organization - Senior Leadership hasn't changed much at all (how can the company grow and evolve if the same leaders are the ones making decisions?) - Pay and vacation is MUCH lower than other Food & CPG companies nation wide. - No real vision or strategy for change or growth - Leadership cannot make decisions independently of the Italian side. - marketing dept. is a joke, money is wasted in frivolous things and unnecessary travel - afraid of innovation and risk - dependance on Italy for so many resources (IT, Decision making, etc.) is slowly choking the business - excessive, useless meetings - Adding of resources in areas that are not strategic to the direction and goals of the company such as Innovation. More resources are needed in R&D and not finance or marketing or these other groups - Senior leaders can be very two faced. They gave a :town hall" about transparency and not playing favorites when promoting and career growth, then fired someone the next day because someone didn't get along with them.
