      Lacking direction, slow to make decisions

      Pros

      Managed to sort out the toilets and bins eventually... what an achievement. Free chocolate. Inexperienced people promoted based on how well they network rather than ability to do the job.

      Cons

      Free chocolate. IS division lacked clear leadership and was extremely slow to make decisions. IS: an HR department that don't know their own policies and are poorly equipped to help their associates. More concerned with where the next 'high potential' associate is coming from than looking after those they have already got.

      Pros

      I enjoyed working for Mars for many years. I was very satisfied with the company until they changed. They were considerate to associates They instituted many reward systems to motivate workers. They hired highly skilled and independent people and allowed them a great deal of freedom in determining the best way to complete tasks. Many of the improvements in manufacturing came from those who did the jobs every day. The compensation was great as were benefits.

      Cons

      The company changed after the Mars family stopped being involved much in running the pet food side of the business. Rewards for hard work dwindled and plants with long time associates were closed in favor of smaller MFG sites. The company became detached from the values that were the basis of the company's success.
