What is the best part of working at the company?
The management team understands the daily challenges of being on the road and at stops delivering. The routes are well organized, and the pay is very competitive compared to other jobs in the area.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
If you're self motivated, punctual, and don't mind interacting with customers then the most stressful part is the driving until you get comfortable on your routes.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
This isn't some big trucking job where they slot you down to a number, you're a person here.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day you'll come in for your start time, pre trip the truck and grab whatever equipment is required to deliver(hand truck, pallet jack, etc) and then you hit the road to your first stop and go from there. Depending on the route, depending on the traffic, and depending on how comfortable with the product you become it will be anywhere from an 8-11 hour day which is a normal trucking job.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Laid-back. I was with previous company for 20 years. Ferraro Food bought them out. My experience with Ferraro Foods was good. They did a lot with updating, and pay scale. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of management which the Ocala Florida division is in necessary need of! I was dispatch, driver, helping with maintenance on the equipment, and helping manage the drivers. I really wished I had more knowledge to assist better as far as technology. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Needs more discipline with drivers, and warehouse workers. To much is tolerated, and, or, not dealt with. Again, Needs more management!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depending on the day. Some days were slow, some days were crazy. But, I believe that is most jobs. But, overall not to bad.

I’ve experienced a mass amount of unorganization, poor quality of life and toxicity in the work environment due to co-workers and lack of support from management. I initially was offered the position under certain conditions only for the conditions to change once I arrived to start my new position. During the remaining time of my employment, I’ve been under increased stress and anxiety due to time obligations of my position being hindered due to the performance of coworkers and lack of support from immediate  management. I have had multiple mental and emotional breakdowns as a effect of dealing with the workload and environment that Ferraro Foods brings. I wish I would’ve listened to those who tried to warn me about this company before hand.

My summarized experience working here was a huge disappointment, however the company has so much potential. Truly suggest to enforce a much more positive work environment. The work environment is very toxic. Person i was personally trained with had no patience,no respect nor compassion and couldn’t properly communicate with me to ensure a speedy successful training. I was very disappointed to have walk away knowing that I could’ve brought good to the company and how I couldn’t handle being there much longer to show it. However the HR team is great and 
gives me a sense of comfort that it at least still has some amazing people there looking out for the success and growth of the company, 
My best wishes, 
Ferraro Foods

Excellent team. From Human Resource Employees to the front desk, to warehouse workers, truck drivers, sales reps, managers etc... I say team because that is exactly how we operate at Ferraro Foods. “It’s never a beating only a lesson” it feels great to come in to a home away from home; for work. Very generous and sincere management; who really cares for the employees and always seems to make sure the work place is both fun and productive. We all work together as one big team to get the job done if needs to be. If one person can’t figure something out we all rush to help ... I would encourage anybody to apply to this job and most importantly take it seriously... It’ll pay off! 

whatever you hear at the group interview about start times and end times you can throw out the window, you need to have been there for about 4 years to get the best routes, which makes sense but that's not the impression they give you at the interview.  They don't have the proper/required equipment for most routes, good equipment is given out on a "first come, first serve" basis. If they don't like you, they don't care about you and YOU WILL get the worst routs, equipment and will be forced to quit. If you don't have steady routes every day, you'll be one of many grouped up at the dispatcher window like chickens at feeding time. 

If you enjoy being micromanaged by someone stuck in the 70’s and a lack of culture this is the place for you. You’ll be left to hang out to dry no training and when your setup to get training, your trainer will call off with family emergencies on multiple occasions. If your a minority your tolerated a lot less than your counter parts. Write up culture that doesn’t value you the word coaching. Don’t waste your time applying at this location they will be bought out in a few years and a new company will take over, I was told this during the interview process.

The people you work with are nice but management has you doing everything outside of your job description because they lack enough employment to cover all the job responsibilities and the micro management will drive you insane pay is terrible they have lost every picker they hired since the beginning along with managers who just couldn't do it anymore this place needs a 360 degree overhaul of management and business practices they have guys picking orders standing on the pallet Jack batteries to reach the third picking teir because that's what management tells them to do just all around not a good place to work

arrive at work look on the board and see where and who i am going with find out what truck i am in, once the drive comes in we check the truck and see if the equipment is on and then we proceed to the first stop, once there we start unloading the product for that stop, and this continues until u have unloaded the contents on the truck, that the job is easier than u think it is, management is always promising something that never happens but want u to do favors, my co-workers are ok the ones that i know and see, the traveling sometimes can be a bit to much, that when u finish u can go home
