      Good, but not great.

      Pros

      This is a solid place to work and gain experience. The values are alive and well. Growth opportunities are there...

      Cons

      Every bit of a good ol'boys club. It's more of who you know, not what you do. Senior level associates stop trying to learn new things and live on past successes. Poor management and leadership that drives the real talent away.

      Wrigley/ Mars?

      Territory sales manager
      Recommend

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Wrigley is a good company to work for because of the well established brands. Everyone knows about wrigley gum. When it comes to selling such a well known product it makes the job a whole lot easier. My position is a field based position. Wrigley proviedes a company car with all paid expenses. They set you up with a home office and you are able to create a flexable schedule. Gas card is provided and that huge with rising prices. You work with the boss maybe 2 a month. Company computer, partial paid cell phone, paid high-speed internet and all the gum you could ever chew.

      Cons

      Some of the downsides of working at Wrigley is the uncertain future. Recently, the family owned CEO stepped down and brought in an outsider to run the company. 1 year later the company announces that it has been bought out by Mars and that the CEO will be leaving. Wrigley is one on the last few company's that continues to carry a sales force without using 3rd parties. Since the merger, we have now hired a 3rd party company at a fraction of the cost to do exactly the same work we do. Rumors are eveywhere around the company that we are being replaced. Also, every second of your time in the field has to be logged and management micro-manages.

      One of the worst experiences of my career

      Pros

      Great Brands - this company does business in spite of itself

      Cons

      Low pay scale, unrealistic expectations with very little support, direction and/or training. Management seems constantly pre-occupied with politics and has no time or interest in fostering the growth of their associates. There is no clear career path - it's all in who you know, not how well you perform. I have seen more good people get bad annual reviews who did not deserve it, and they ultimately wind up leaving the company out of frustration.
