Pros

None Lot of unpaid holidays and you must put in 12 hours of pto or work 4 and get off 8 hours. No promises of advancement or higher pay

Cons

You are lifting all day in a hot room with no proper ventilation or proper PPE dealing with toxic chemicals for shut down cleaning. There was no proper training with dealing with chemicals when I first got there. Imagine all the chemicals and ingredients going into your lungs is doing to you. The rooms can reach over 88 degrees

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
