Pros

Good benefits and pay. Focuses on work/life balance. The open office environment encourages approachability. Promotes educational development through continuous training, development programs and education reimbursement.

Cons

As with most big companies its about who you know, this is not to say that opportunities are not available to all however, it can be hard to one to be noticed. Although they promote mentoring, some mangers do not provide sufficient time to develop their mentees.

The What and the How

Pros

Company is organized. You can learn from this company.

Cons

You develop your successor. Then, you are gone. Mars moved from the "forced distribution" (Jack Welch ideology) to the "What and the How" with respect to mid and end of year Associate calibrations. Mars uses the "How" in a subjective manner to design their workforce. Lets put it this way.... If you are young and look good, you get promoted. If you have your head up someone's ___, you might survive past 50. Good luck. In short, you get around 50 years old and your days are numbered.
