Pros

Transition was top notch with guidance from senior management, flexibility to ask questions, senior leadership approachable, competitive compensation and benefit package, friendly work colleagues focused on success of company over personal success

Cons

Challenging macro industry trends create an environment ready for change, but that seems to be a bit in a state of flux

Pros

There are five principles that define a way of doing business that recognizes the individual and a responsible way of conducting business.

Cons

The company is not being run by the family anymore; the new CEO is just like all the others. They have employed Jack Welch's drop the bottom 10% every year (stupid). They have reorganized almost every other year in some misguided thought process that you can replace leadership with HR policies. Mike Murphy was the last decent CEO and he left 10 years ago.

A Great Place To Work

Pros

Wrigley is a truly wonderful place to work. You often hear that there are growth opportunities and then find out that you can only go in one direction. At Wrigley, cross-functional / cross-segment moves are not only encouraged, they are expected. Because we are still private, the company can base decisions off of a core set of values vs. what shareholders want. Senior leaders are visible, approachable and transparent. Associates have the freedom to influence (no matter what level you are at.)

Cons

In my opinion, the decentralized model we've got doesn't work well. There are missed opportunities to harmonize processes and leverage best practices.
