Vantaggi

The pay and benefits are competitive. Free lunch - daily at the Chicago factory's and Friday's at the headquarters

Svantaggi

- No work-life balance - No collaboration between departments, each department is out for themselves - Product changes are based on savings with little regard to customer preference - The atmosphere at Ferrara is very poor due to unrealistic goals and high turnover - Indecisiveness towards factory closures. Announcements made and then retracted. Creates very poor moral and reduces loyalty - Focus is on divesting the company which is generating mostly poor decisions from management. - Too many consultants driving the business.

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
