Pros

Great pay, benefits, work life balance. Leadership and management really care about their employees. Biggest benefit of working at Mars/Wrigley is the fact they are privately owned and not held to shareholders and the bottom line. It allows the company to re-invest within and actually treat their employees with respect. It was scary leaving my previous employer and coming over to Wrigley, you just never know what to expect. I can honestly say it's one of the best decisions I have ever made. I should have looked into this Company a long time ago, but hey i'm here now so it's all good!! If your looking to apply and get a job offer I would highly suggest you accept!!!

Cons

Not many, I mean I can nitpick but I feel like anyone in any job/company can do that. This company is awesome, I've been employed for close to year now but so far they're no serious cons.
