Pros

The people at Wrigley are great - effective, open, and very 'normal'. This is helped out by the open office plan - which isn't for everyone, but for those that can manage it is very level. Management truly cares about associates and wants to ensure that everyone develops and progresses.

Cons

The current business plan isn't working, despite several changes to senior management and strategy. Investment was reduced in the category once Wrigley was purchased, and gum ain't healthy today. This has a depressive impact on both compensation and internal morale given the once high-flying growth.

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.
