Avoid unless you start with an exit plan - Anonymous employee Ferrara Candy Company Employee Review

Pros

Offers are pretty good, people are great for the most part. Brand new cool office downtown with lots of happy hours etc (awesome during non COVID). Lack of role structure means you can get experience in areas you might not be able to in more structured companies (which could also be a con)

Cons

This place is a joke. Constant turnover. Pay increases are TINY, especially with promotions. Company constantly tripping over themselves - lack of clarity in what roles do/ who owns what, and management isn't clear on priorities/strategy. Same issues come up again and again. Management hasn't dealt with any of the glaring issues this company has, and it shows quarter after quarter. Would not recommend unless you have an exit plan before you even accept the position.

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
