Pros
Wrigley provides a great balance of working for a large company that feels small. Wrigley’s brand strategy and heritage are known throughout the world and is something that is expected from a large CPG company but also something we are proud of. However, Wrigley often times feels like a small company—in a good way. During my time at Wrigley I have had the privilege of working on cross-functioning teams where we were given the freedom to problem solve critical issues that face the company. It is exciting to work in a group your opinion is weighed on its value rather than the title of the person speaking. Lastly, Wrigley strongly supports your career aspirations. If you have a career path in mind, your manager and peers will help you navigate the best path towards achieving your goals. This point truly demonstrates that Wrigley understands the importance of supporting its employees
Cons
Wrigley is a top manufacturer in the gum category. Unfortunately, the gum category has struggled to perform over the past several years. As a result Wrigley is experiencing pressure to help stabilize the category. Its employees are working hard to achieve set goals but it is a challenge to keep the energy that is needed for long-term results.
