Pros

Work life balance is excellent - fairly regular working hours - culture promotes time out for lunch etc. Opportunities for personal development are readily available and encouraged - if you want to spend time developing your soft skills then this is the place to go! Friendly and collaborative culture The Mars name looks good on your CV!

Cons

Opportunities for promotion are limited - sideways moves seem to be plentiful but there is little value in technical expertise. Management often have little specialist knowledge of their functional area so reward and recognition is hit and miss! Recognition is based on 'playing the game' rather than on functional delivery. Attitudes and behaviours of some associates can be inappropriate - Managers fail to act on this adequately.

Pros

Free Coffee Machine. Free Candy. Showers. Free Band Aids

Cons

Pay is crap. Training ( What there is training at this place? wow) Office people have no idea how hard people out back work. Office people have a easy job for better pay and perks then others. Shift work is for the birds. 4 days on 4 days of ( Yeah Right). Come on in on your days off for training. Control room meetings are a joke. Does nothing for the people who work hard at work. Adding things to your job ( more work less pay) Smokes who take 2 hour breaks at a time . The staff who sleep on the job or come in and sleep and get paid. ( we know where you sleep)Management and there little pets( co-workers/Brown Noser's) Computers in the warehouse/Production should not have internet. Good people who work get passed over. There is no " I " in Team work in this place. Other shifts get missed when events are held. Did i say no " I " in team? lol

Pros

They have a small onsite fitness center.

Cons

This company will work you to the bone and pressure you to not take vacation. I knew I had to leave when they had a problem with me taking a three day weekend to attend a FUNERAL. This continued to send me work emails that they expected me to respond to throughout that weekend. I couldn't stay with a company with such low morality.
