      Not a company that values technical leaders

      Pros

      Open environment. No offices. Allows to bring your dog to work everyday. Casual dress code.

      Cons

      Very political. Technical decisions made by non-technical associates. Food microbiologists are not valued or heard. Responses to emails or requests is dependent on person's title (upper management don't reply to lower level associates). Upper management is arrogant, political, and disrespectful. HR and managers don't take actions when needed, even when associates are harassing others. Company allows some associates to be complainers and abuse the system. Horrible upper management and HR (P&O) associates who aren't trained on how to lead.

      Great company on paper, but...

      Pros

      Good benefits and salary, great people, and admirable principles. Exposure to global business practices and partners makes for very interesting opportunities, and training opportunities abound.

      Cons

      Impossibly dysfunctional environment and bizarre leadership team in this particular business unit. Remember the story "The Emperor Wore No Clothes"? Employees in this office could have written it.

      Used to be a great place to work before Mars acquired it and changed the leadership team.

      Pros

      Great brands, colleagues, compensation package and benefits. People are nice, cooperative and used to be free of politics so you could really enjoy your work.

      Cons

      For 100+ years this company was run by the Wrigley family and by long-term associates that new the category really well. Mars is no doubt another great company but the leadership team they have put in place at Wrigley unfortunately does not have a clue and are making strategic and organizational changes that don't make much sense.
