Lacking direction, slow to make decisions

Business Outlook

Pros

Managed to sort out the toilets and bins eventually... what an achievement. Free chocolate. Inexperienced people promoted based on how well they network rather than ability to do the job.

Cons

Free chocolate. IS division lacked clear leadership and was extremely slow to make decisions. IS: an HR department that don't know their own policies and are poorly equipped to help their associates. More concerned with where the next 'high potential' associate is coming from than looking after those they have already got.

Business Outlook

Pros

great benefits, flexible environment, lots of opportunities for career development & training, not a hyper-competitive environment

Cons

The entire company (Wrigley especially but Mars as a whole) is totally lost when it comes to growth. Emphasis is on taking costs out of products rather than adding value, so great ideas get squashed or stripped of whatever makes them interesting. The focus on developing talent means that people are sometimes put in positions that aren't appropriate for their skills or mindsets because they need to be promoted or want to learn about a new area.
