Mars Symbioscience - An utter nightmare and career killer

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Mars, Inc is truly a great company. The pet and chocolate divisions are wonderful places to work, run by very smart people.

Cons

Stay away from the Symbioscience Division. It is managed by a family member whose behavior and management skills are often frightening. The management team of the unit have little to no management experience. Their sole mission is to ensure that the unit spends their budgets, as volume and profitability are not really that important. If you are really serious about your professional career and reputation, I highly recommend staying in the pet, food or candy units.

Pros

Awesome benefits - Company car/gas card, expense account, Ipad/computer, etc. Mars does a great job at letting you "be your own boss", which allows you to manage your territory however you want. As long as you're working towards the goal, the freedom is unparalleled.

Cons

Too many policies that is starting to take freedom out of the position. The company is starting to stray away from five principles, which was one of the reasons I signed on. Let the reps sell...simple as that.
