Pros

Mars has great salaries and great benefits, Engagement and development are important, talented people to work with, fun brands to work on.

Cons

Unfortunately, Mars has become a highly political environment. If you are not in the correct political circle you will struggle. This includes perceived alliances as well as real. The organization is also relatively flat, so advancement is difficult.

Most Dysfunctional Management EVER

Pros

Good benefits, opportunities to learn

Cons

Worked at a smaller division of Mars that most people don't know is owned by Mars.....including Mars themselves, I believe. Two thirds of the management team at this company are the most incompetent and unqualified group ever. Besides not knowing the industry that they are tasked with managing, they make it even worse by creating hostility, in-fighting among coworkers and in general, a very dysfunctional, spirit-breaking culture. They continue to go backwards in sales, profitability and brand awareness, yet get more arrogant and elitist. The "regular" employees are great....very qualified and engaged. Despite what the management believes, the employees are the only reason this small branch is still alive.

Pros

Pay is good. Coworkers are nice. Has a full service cafeteria that was about the only plus side to working here.

Cons

Too many cliques. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Always changing, doesn't matter how long you've been there they'll fire you, even if you're a good worker. Swing shift is rough but you get used to it. They don't close, even for hurricanes. They don't care about their employees or their families work you holidays and weekends.
