Pros

As an intern, I was trusted to take ownership of some great variety of projects and was managed and guided through them well. Management helped me maintain balance in learning / training and adding value. The internship program also provided an opportunity to learn about the company and get involved with the social aspect of being a Wrigley employee - be it meeting Duke Petrovich, volunteering, or going to a Cubs game. The office environment was also open, friendly, and collaborative. In general, it was fun working with candy products... lots of free candy!

Cons

Unfortunately, despite my good performance, there was not an opportunity to become a full-time employee... this may have just been timing. While it presented great opportunities, Wrigley was also going through some challenges post Mars acquisition in streamlining Mars / Wrigley efforts into one company, much like any company would at such a time.

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.
