Pros

Good benefits, flexible work schedule, and a lot of great people at the company.

Cons

-Upper management is clueless to what’s going on below them -REORG- expect a reorganization at least once a year. -Regardless of the reason finance is at fault, and no one out of finance is held accountable for not hitting their targets - bottom line is the numbers, company brags about “principles” and “love of pets” but it’s all about money. Most businesses are but Mars pretends to care about you and pets. - moving up is based on politics not performance. Can be a “pro” if you connect with the right person but if not expect to struggle to move up or get a new position. Zero consistency on promoting.

Pros

Excellent workplace environment, beautiful building, workspaces, amenities such as working from home, free beverages & candy, a candy store, cafeteria, fitness center with free trainer and showers. Friendships are lasting and the people and talent are amazing and a joy to work with!

Cons

I strongly echo a reviewer's comment that the "company is hemorrhaging talent because they are so slow to reward high achievers. It’s one of the most discouraging environments I’ve ever been in because you’re constantly asked to prove yourself over and over yet you get nowhere."

Pros

The pay was fair, benefits are excellent, health, dental, vision, 3wks vacation, 401k, a savings plan, a yearly bonus, and a picnic.

Cons

Once Wrigley was bought by Mars, everything slowly but surely went to crap. Production/manufacturing employees were treated as expendable slaves. No trust, no morale, safety is an issue, management just doesnt seem to care(not all but most), use of scare tactics, HIGHLY STRESSFUL ENVIROMENT!
