Pros

Wrigley is a truly wonderful place to work. You often hear that there are growth opportunities and then find out that you can only go in one direction. At Wrigley, cross-functional / cross-segment moves are not only encouraged, they are expected. Because we are still private, the company can base decisions off of a core set of values vs. what shareholders want. Senior leaders are visible, approachable and transparent. Associates have the freedom to influence (no matter what level you are at.)

Cons

In my opinion, the decentralized model we've got doesn't work well. There are missed opportunities to harmonize processes and leverage best practices.

Pros

I’ve been at Mars (Yorkville site) for about three months as a Quality Systems Senior Specialist, and so far it’s been a great experience. Everyone has been genuinely friendly, welcoming, and willing to help. The culture feels very supportive—people want to see you succeed and are quick to share knowledge and offer guidance. My manager has been amazing and is truly invested in my growth. She’s helped set clear expectations, encouraged development, and provided the tools and support I need to be successful.

Cons

None so far—still new, but my experience has been very positive.

Pros

Great people who believe in a common mission. Strong leadership and support.

Cons

Budgets and decision making for technical programs are centralized at a high level with little to no consideration for how it affects individual programs and their unique needs. Heavy bureaucracy involved in setting up simple things.
