Pros

Excellent benefits, bring your dog to work (only if your privileged to work in the front office). they feed you a lot and bring in candy.

Cons

They hire managers who have no experience in the job they are doing. Then the manager will do everything in their power to get you fired if you are a threat to them. They are quick to sweep things under the carpet so they won't get in trouble. Circle the wagons around the protected few. What started off as a good plant went downhill fast.

Pros

Great company benefits - salary, holiday, pension

Cons

Cold and sterile environment. Very quiet. All work, no play. Management delegate all of their responsibiity and see their own roles as being there to constantly feedback negative feedback. Lots managers been there forever, its all who you know, not what you know, lots of personal relationships going on.

Pros

Working with the Petcare division of Mars you can bring your dog to work each day which is a very nice plus. Company has great benefits with 3 weeks vacation your first year. They are very proactive in engaging associates with special events (South American breakfast for the opening day of World Cup was the most recent). If you are talented and willing to work hard, you will get promoted quickly.

Cons

As stated above, if you are willing to work hard you will get promoted but you have to put in 50-60 hours each week and it doesn't let up.
