Cons

Open office working environment and punctuality bonus (or loose 10% of daily pay) may not appeal to everyone Performance development process needs to be simplified Too much emphasis on Gallup engagement scores Too much focus on what's politically right versus what's right for the business.

Wrigley- Chicago, IL

Pros

I recently joined the Wrigley Packaging Procurement function for North America. I have nothing but great things to say about the company so far. The office has open seating which allows for the ability to work closely and efficiently within your team. The culture is fun, collaborative, and definitely values a balance between working hard, but taking time for family. Wrigley pays it's associates very competitively relative to other CPG companies. There is a cafeteria, discounted gym membership available, discounted parking available to use which are major perks.

Cons

So far, I have had a fantastic onboarding process with Wrigley. I have nothing bad to say about the company. I feel like I have all the tools I need to be successful and have a great understanding of my role and responsibility. Wrigley focuses a lot on engaging associates and making sure everyone is happy to come to work each day. The only negative I can think of is the cafeteria has limited options so it gets repetitive, however, there are food trucks outside the building on a daily basis to mix it up.

Good place to work overall.

Pros

A fun place to work obviously, work-life balance was excellent, teleworking is by department. Lots of fun event days, big on volunteering and sustainability. Some really great people there. Good pay.

Cons

You have to "punch the clock" which is antiquated. A huge focus on employee satisfaction leads to extra fluff work at times. Big on culture, office politics and ways of working through the business. Lots of recent changes and reorganization happens often.
