Pros

Amazing pet nutrition and quality of product. Good benefits. A lot of really talented people to learn from. Strong commitment to diversity and inclusion .

Cons

Top leadership changes often and tends to be very political environment. Way too much micromanagement and high turnover in the sales team because of low morale and unrealistic goals. Don’t count on bonus - it’s hard to get. If you are one of the “favorites” it’s great for you, but if not you have to really market yourself for any kind of recognition for your work. Culture should be built on five principles of Mars but this division doesn’t seem to follow them at all. The challenges in the business seem to always come back to the perceived failure and laziness of the sales team and not the decisions of leadership or lack of customer focus. Seems like climbing the corporate ladder in the company is a much bigger priority for associates than the slogan of “making a better life for pets”. Not as pet focused as it used to be.

Pros

Coworkers were very nice and helpful. Learned a lot about animals. Great PTO. Was about to take off when needed.

Cons

Loved working here at first, but then I felt like a machine. I understand KPIs and metrics, but repeating the same thing multiple times a day quickly tires you out. Having your calls listened to can feel pressuring and invasive, though I understand why it is done. Micromanaging by a new manager with no prior experience at the company made things worse. My previous manager was hands-off because he trusted his staff and their monthly reports; it wasn't necessary to hover over us. I had great KPIs and scores, but with my new manager, the goalposts were always moving, and it was never good enough. It was frustrating. I enjoyed everyone on my team, but, as always, it's the manager who overwhelms you for no reason and pushes you away. Throwing in how much the company has made during our quarterly meetings were kind of a slap in the face. Raises need to be a priority, this is a multimillion dollar company.
