Pros

The headquarters is in an amazing location in Chicago. The people who work there are supportive. The brands are amazing and it is a fun business to work on. Mars is a company with great values and the right focus on making the world a better place.

Cons

The brands need more marketing money to succeed. If Wrigley does not spend to support the gum category then who will?

Pros

Great people who believe in a common mission. Strong leadership and support.

Cons

Budgets and decision making for technical programs are centralized at a high level with little to no consideration for how it affects individual programs and their unique needs. Heavy bureaucracy involved in setting up simple things.
