Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits and salary, great people, and admirable principles. Exposure to global business practices and partners makes for very interesting opportunities, and training opportunities abound.

Cons

Impossibly dysfunctional environment and bizarre leadership team in this particular business unit. Remember the story "The Emperor Wore No Clothes"? Employees in this office could have written it.

Used to be a great place to work before Mars acquired it and changed the leadership team.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great brands, colleagues, compensation package and benefits. People are nice, cooperative and used to be free of politics so you could really enjoy your work.

Cons

For 100+ years this company was run by the Wrigley family and by long-term associates that new the category really well. Mars is no doubt another great company but the leadership team they have put in place at Wrigley unfortunately does not have a clue and are making strategic and organizational changes that don't make much sense.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people, good working environment, safety, cleanliness, good pay compared to other food companies and work-hours flexibility in certain jobs.

Cons

Senior management covered for each other. Lack of proper discipline for managers who obviously played favorites. Very lean company, so you did more than your share of work. High levels of stress amongst hourly employees. Most say they can't wait to get out of there.
