Vantaggi

I had to put 5 words

Svantaggi

Ferrara is trying to operate as a real CPG company, but has Investment Bankers in the highest levels of the company. You cannot operate with a private equity mentality with inadequate leadership. All of the private equity team is still in place and the company is declining. Unless you are 30 years old, male, and graduated from Notre Dame, you do not need to apply. The high school culture is built on this high ranking group of individuals and their arrogance, and fear to stand up to them. There is no training, no support, no trust, it is very negative, lack of feedback, and you are over worked. All of this has been shared to the highest levels and with HR and nothing has been done. There is also no succession plan, they do not have a 3-5 year outlook to help you succeed and progress your career. There is a lot of turnover because of all of this. But they do not seem to care. There is a limited recruiting process and nothing is transparent. Most roles are not posted and the Notre Dame group hand selects their friends for each role. Ferrara continues to decline rapidly. To the top talent, please stay away.
