Pros

Strong pride in the product Good people Solid reputation internationally

Cons

Has become highly political Communication from Senior management is terrible - no one knows what mars is looking for and the remaining Wrigley senior management are all out for themselves, not their people Most of the strong operations people are gone - only 'corporate types' that can impress mars family are left

Pros

Great product line. Excellent marketing. Wonderful, talented people.

Cons

Ridiculous office culture where there is no privacy to work effectively or efficiently...all because of some quirky idea the owners had that employees with offices made those without offices feel inferior. Not to worry, they have plenty of other ways to make all their employees feel inferior--unfair reviews, required time card punch even for salaried employees that carries with it a financial penalty if you're late, completely unrealistic expectations in terms of work/life balance. I could go on and on.

Flexibility no longer

Pros

This used to be a great purpose driven company, isolated from share holder drive. There are still pockets of long term vision, but massive federation makes it difficult to achieve.

Cons

Recent changes to UK policy. What made this company great in valuing employees and being a purpose driven company is being eroded. Yes the economy is hard, but the levers being pulled reduce the huge amount of great positives that made Mars. Flexibility now being negioted, presenteeism being encouraged and a toxic environment driven by constant goal posts being moved and careerism from senior leadership. Diversity and inclusion are talked about a lot but this is another area now second to short term goals. Great long term senior leaders leaving only reinforces this.
