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!

Pros

originally people were great; enthusiasm of employees, family atmosphere, caring for each other, real team work between management and employees; performance recognized.

Cons

Last few years loss of family atmosphere, fear of job loss among employees and management, lack of trust between management and employees, change to open office work environment. Insincerity of management and fear that sparks employees to give the responses to surveys that management wants to hear rather than the truth. Too many changes in Management in Supply Chain. Canada is seen as a training ground for new Managers so they are more concerned with making their mark than working with employees and creating a enjoyable work environment that inspires employees to work hard and give back to the company due to pride in the product and place where they worked. IF you know you are going to be there for only 2 or less years you do not necessarily make decisions that have positive long lasting effects; instead quick fixes and what's best for us right now and let the next guy deal with the negative long term consequences.
