Pros

Strong pride in the product Good people Solid reputation internationally

Cons

Has become highly political Communication from Senior management is terrible - no one knows what mars is looking for and the remaining Wrigley senior management are all out for themselves, not their people Most of the strong operations people are gone - only 'corporate types' that can impress mars family are left

Pros

I’ve been at Mars (Yorkville site) for about three months as a Quality Systems Senior Specialist, and so far it’s been a great experience. Everyone has been genuinely friendly, welcoming, and willing to help. The culture feels very supportive—people want to see you succeed and are quick to share knowledge and offer guidance. My manager has been amazing and is truly invested in my growth. She’s helped set clear expectations, encouraged development, and provided the tools and support I need to be successful.

Cons

None so far—still new, but my experience has been very positive.
