Pros

-Incredible people and culture: by far the most fun and highest performing team I have been a part of -Open office promotes collaboration and helps build solid relationships with co-workers -Strong focus on work-life balance and associate wellness -Generous benefits and compensation -Passionate about development - Wrigley is devoted to providing development opportunities to employees and helping them to map out and achieve the career they want -Being privately owned (by Mars, Inc) allows us to do what is right for our category, stabilize it and establish a reasonable growth rate, thereby making decisions for the long-term health of our company and brands, instead of short-term decisions to meet shareholder expectations -Wrigley's connection to Mars also provides many additional career opportunities, both in the US and internationally -Concerned about employee engagement, and provides fun activities and service opportunities as part of the work environment to help associates be satisfied at work -Operate with the Mars 5 principles, which enhances and gives extra meaning to the work

Cons

-Gum is a challenging category that has been declining for several years, so can create interesting conversations with customers -Visibility to other Mars career opportunities is low right now (it's hard to tell if something would be a lateral, a promotion, etc) but they are working to correct this in 2015 -It can be hard to stay connected to headquarters if you are at a remote site, and I understand it is hard to promote or change functions if you start in the field (Territory Sales Manager)
