Pros

I've worked at Mars/Wrigley for 17 years now. Over the years I've been given a ton of opportunity to grow, develop, and learn. I've worked with some of the nicest people and have had managers who genuinely care about me as a person. The compensation and benefits are great as well as work-life balance.

Cons

Recently Mars announced it was going to combine the Wrigley and Mars Chocolate segment into 1 segment. There's been a lot ambiguity in the process (9 months since the announcement we don't know what our new jobs will be or where the new location will be). In addition, they creating a new Global organization, there's a large power struggle between the global and local teams. With that decision making is extremely slow and I spend most of my time managing ego's instead of getting work done.
