Pros

Constantly under pressure to work very long hours. Abusive management in a very political and toxic workplace.

Cons

Great place for you if you are willing to work very long hours and weekends as a way to keep your job

How did the company get here?

Pros

At one time, Mars was a company were everyone encouraged their friends and family to apply because every associate loved working there. It was home away from home and everyone was fully engaged in doing their best for betterment of the company. Having 20 years of service, with five family members working for Mars was common and valued.

Cons

Now the company is trying to increase their engagement by filling out ridiculous surveys that mean nothing other than a score for corporate. You had engaged associates, who bled for the company, who worked to support production while missing out on family outings....all for the name of Mars.

Pros

Pay and bonuses are great, dogs are allowed on-site, location in the Nashville suburb is great, casual dress code

Cons

Highly political environment, management focuses on what you're doing wrong and call you out on it and rarely acknowledge what you're doing right, lots of gossiping, lacks corporate maturity by hiring inexperienced people with poor people and management skills, open office environment allows everyone to watch/listen to everyone which feeds the gossip chain, no work/life balance, personnel evaluations by management are political and sometimes includes aspects of an associate's personal life, has a designated 'crying room' which is a small, windowless office with a table and a few chairs - used for terminating employees, high turnover, too much politics for a company this size, quick to fire people.
