Pros

- Access to tasty and quality Italian Chocolate and Desserts - Big on transparency and communication between teams - Ok pay...but not worth the stress

Cons

- Felt like I was doing 3 full time jobs. I understand the US division is new but I was spreading myself way too thin- tasks unrelated to my job would just get assigned on my plate at random. - Some of the management esp from overseas was pretty condescending and I got scolded over small mistakes or things I couldn't control by people who did not understand my job. I felt targeted and openly disdained by certain people and it was hard to work with. - Really terrible work-life balance. I don't mean anything crazy like 80 hour work weeks but just being expected to answer the phone at any time or have to come in on a weekend at the drop of a dime and it not being "officially required" or put in the job description, but getting passive aggressive emails if you ever missed a weekend email or couldn't come in. A manager early on told me they wanted me to "live and breathe Venchi while you work here" and that should have been a sign to run. - They slowly stamped out the hybrid work environment while I was there into full in-person which was annoying.

Pros

You get paid to work

Cons

Career growth; HQ not in HQ; extremely siloed teams, almost feels uncomfortable to go to office, expect that coming in. Do not expect a quick turnaround in culture
