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.

Pros

More people-centric than most employers

Cons

Extremely political at the VP level HR has way too much say on things like career growth - they don't provide anything positive on this, only putting up blockers. They don't understand the business AT ALL, like data & analytics -- they're clueless about talent (pay, career trajectories, etc) yet act all high & mighty and flex their "muscle" more often than they should. Why is HR doing nothing but blocking things rather than looking for ways to promote long-term career growth? It's amazing to see someone so clueless have so much impact. Other companies & industries don't have such blockers in HR like Mars does. A shame, lots of D&A talent leaving because HR is terrible.
