Pros

Great culture Many opportunities to develop and make a difference to people and the planet through performance Great associates and family feel Mars, Incorporated is a family owned business. We are very much decentralized and we use our Five Principles: Quality, Responsibility, Mutuality, Efficiency and Freedom to guide our decisions. While you may find many of these Principles in other companies, Mutuality and Freedom are much more unique. A mutual benefit is a shared benefit and a shared benefit will endure. We apply this Principle to all our interactions internally and externally with our suppliers, customers and consumers. Freedom is also unique as we can make decisions free from market influence about how we can grow our company and how we can benefit people and the planet as well as Mars. Mars is the ultimate great place to work.

Cons

Watching a competitor be first to market when we could have been first by executing better. We need to watch for signs of complacency.
