Big Company, Too Many Open Projects Without Enough Vision and Strategy - Procurement Manager Ferrara Candy Company Employee Review

Pros

Immediate team was a good group of people

Cons

Ferrara was very email and meeting centric. There were so many open projects and thus, meetings and emails, that it was really difficult to work on anything more strategic or forward looking. There was an expectation to respond to emails nearly immediately and it created a lot of administrative/tactical work with little/no time to manage anything else. It felt very disjointed and I didn't see a clear strategy or objective the entire org was working towards.

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
