      Great people, uncertain future

      Pros

      The people at Wrigley are great - effective, open, and very 'normal'. This is helped out by the open office plan - which isn't for everyone, but for those that can manage it is very level. Management truly cares about associates and wants to ensure that everyone develops and progresses.

      Cons

      The current business plan isn't working, despite several changes to senior management and strategy. Investment was reduced in the category once Wrigley was purchased, and gum ain't healthy today. This has a depressive impact on both compensation and internal morale given the once high-flying growth.

      Pros

      Open office environment a plus. Good benefits and pay. Company focuses on the consumer.

      Cons

      Not much opportunity for mid-management unless you don't care about your direct reports.

      Pros

      Endless amount of free chocolate, strong brands to work on, great health benefits, many resources and tools to do your job, great training (Mars U.), etc. Mostly really good, hard working people that care for the company. I do think that they try to keep the five principles working in action.

      Cons

      The end of year review process is painful here. Even when you've done 8 out of 10 things on your individual business objectives (IBO's) well, your supervisor will spend 45 minutes beating you down on the two things that you could have done better. Hoping that part of the culture changes as the company evolves. It does get a bit political as I've seen several associates get rewarded and promoted even though a program they worked on lost the company money and was mismanaged. Hiring - Very focused currently on only ivy-league style MBAs... good thing to have a myriad of backgrounds and experiences, vs. all being so cookie cutter in approach. Locations of most of the offices aren't ideal unless you want to live in the 'sticks'.
