Pros

Open office atmosphere and amazing brands makes Mars a unique and compelling place to work. The travel opportunities abroad and throughout the US network allow an associate to be exposed to different ways of making and selling chocolate.

Cons

The acquisition of Wrigley has put a lot of short term pressures on Mars to cut costs and return a certain bottomline at all costs. This would often mean senseless hiring freezes and travel bans when all logic and economic conditions in the marketplace would tell you otherwise. The company is extremely short term focused.

Business Outlook

Pros

Mars is a great place to work with regard to employee engagement and developing associates. It is a company based on integrity and aims to hold steadfast to this principle everyday as business is conducted.

Cons

Sometimes, communication is not always proactive with regard to business changes. The culture has also changed throughout the years. Associates seem to be treated more as employees rather than as associates as they were treated in the past.
