Wrigley Manufacturing

I would answer the phone and handle any problems that would arise during my workday, approved materials and ingredients. File documentation of the materials and ingredients. I learned alot about some of the new technology we started using to sample ingredients. I would collect samples and did alot of recording data in MSExcel. I also went to school and got my certificate for Management. I worked with some good co-workers and I was always willing to help where needed. The hardest part of the job was never knowing what I was walking into day by day. I've always enjoying learning new things and I really enjoyed doing that. I've always felt the more you know the better off you are.

Wrigley is the most diverse and stimulating culture that one could work. The day to day operations had its challenges, and customer service was the greatest priority. The collaboration and interaction between departments and teams was first-rate. Many successes were accomplished due to open communication at all levels. By far the best company I had the privilege to work for until the Chicago Factory closed its doors.

I loved the job itself: you stay busy in a clean & temp controlled environment. It’s all the Bull you have to deal with just to be an employee that wasn’t worth it. Time reporting was a PAIN. They do a lot of “employee engagement” activities that are mandatory and half the employees hate them (which can also be scheduled on your off days, btw). There is no such thing as just going in to do your job and going home. The want people who will dedicate their life to the job. 

In my role we do a lot of PLC work.  While at Wrigley, I've had the opportunity to learn to work with various brands of control devices ranging from PLCs and VFDs to simple motor controls.  My job is a constant learning experience.  There are always new products and methods to learn.  Sometimes it is difficult keeping up with the change of technology, but the challenge is often rewarding.

While working there it was a good environment with great compensation packages.  Overall difficulty was using job proprietary equipment that was aging out and trying to keep it running was difficult.  Management was good except for a certain few outliers.  General direction was for continued improvement and was encouraged, not just words.

The Wrigley Company is always trying to develop new products. Their safety culture is second to none. Quality expectations are high.It is regulated by the FDA so they must be. Constantly striving to make job tasks easier through innovative engineering. Benefits are outstanding. Great retirement benefits.

I started at Wrigley and within a year I was widely regarded as the top Financial Analyst in North America.  I had ideas that I promoted and a couple of them were implemented globally, including a comprehensive budget manual.

I gained so many skills while at Wrigley.  I learned SAP and became a power user for FICO.

Everything is based on production. Depending on area, it can be stressful to work there. They do provide great benefits and care about you as a person.

I worm 12 hr. rotating shifts with a good group of people, very profesional. I learned how to really b a positive influence on my coworkers and management is a really professional team. The most enjoyable part of job is producing a product that everybody seems to love.

It was a very easy job...enjoyed working there. Got along with co workers, Loved getting paid every week,  and close to my house. You would always have something to do so you can get you're  forty hour's
