Great Career with Great Perks

Business Outlook

Pros

Everyone I have worked with is really interested in helping further your career in the company. Very generous perks. Great benefits. I'm relatively new but it seems like there are lots of opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Some of the sales metrics are very hard to reach for certain areas. Areas can be primarily in the inner city, where higher profit items are a hard sell making it difficult to achieve company wide goals.

Pros

They have fantastic Halloween parties at work.

Cons

Management is very unfair. No work / life balance. Employees are overworked. Mars slowly took away all the great benefits that Wrigley gave to their employees. Working next to a garbage dump is sickening. Only certain individuals are allowed to work from home one day a week.
