Pros

Lots of great people with a varied backgrounds and experience. Depending on what level you're at and department you're in there are opportunities to move around within company.

Cons

The culture there can be very off-putting. They have their Mars values but the management doesn't really live up to them. There are no offices (not even for the President), but they make a huge distinction between exempt & non-exempt employees to the point of it being degrading to the non-exempt employees. New high level employees will be nice to everyone until they figure out what level you are and then they often quickly change their tune when they realize you are beneath them. The interview process is utterly grueling and hiring managers often only want people from their own alma maters. They are highly discriminatory against keeping and hiring older employees and only want new/young talent.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits. Wrigley's has a proud reputation that makes it a place many would like to work. Support give to the community they operate in. Great people who work hard to make Wrigley's a solid company.

Cons

There is fear tactics being deployed even among middle and upper management that is turning everyone into program human robots that lack the ability to think strategically or take measured risk due to the fear of failing which many feel will have career ending results. The turnover rate among effective leaders are high because Wrigley's is now manage by leaders who work together to root out those leaders who don't fit in and are not willing to lower their standard of doing what is right and ethical. If you want to be successful at this company learn very quickly who hold the cards to your future and try to use every occasion to fit in as oppose to spending your time enhancing your skills and knowledge that will equip you to support overall business objectives. There is also an unhealthy atmosphere of distrust among hourly associates and leadership that is challenging to overcome because fear of reprisal if the associates speak what is on their mind and heart.
