      Diversity issues and terrible business practices

      Pros

      Fix this company, you're losing money and talented minority associates!

      Cons

      They have such diversity issues here, good minority associates get passed over constantly or have a glass ceiling put over them. Really hard to advance your career here. Also the business is ran like someone from the 80s teleported to 2020....Full of BS, buzzwords, lack of diversity moving up, bad decisions, chasing trends, not being smart, constantly doing reorgs, and the place is run off of popularity and mobility not talent!

      Great Company but Challenging Time

      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.

      Pros

      flexibility. Note: you must set your own boundaries or you will be run into the ground with work and end up working nights and weekends. Work/Life balance is great if you establish these boundaries. It will be terrible if you don't. bonuses, pension, base pay is average Overall leadership at the global level and Mars family leadership is very good Get good at building interpersonal relationships fast and you will do well. If this isn't you, don't even consider this company.

      Cons

      Annual pay increases are equivalent to cost of living adjustments. There is no such thing as a significant bump in pay. Internal promotions are nearly impossible - the business chooses external candidates a significant majority of the time signaling a lack of internal grooming and maybe a belief that the grass is greener outside of Mars? Sr management disconnected from the people who do the work and at times have their people in fear of them. Sr management willing to let terrific talent leave and makes excuses for why he/she left Petcare US leadership is very poor and out of touch - it is due to be turned over within 6 months per historical trend.
