Pros

They have an excellant benefits and compensation package. Overall, they really care about their people.

Cons

It's difficult to gain recognition in the field. In order to move up in the organization you need to spend time working at the headquarters in Chicago. Change often requires several layers of approval and then change happens without all systems being in place to support the change.

Pros

Open office atmosphere and amazing brands makes Mars a unique and compelling place to work. The travel opportunities abroad and throughout the US network allow an associate to be exposed to different ways of making and selling chocolate.

Cons

The acquisition of Wrigley has put a lot of short term pressures on Mars to cut costs and return a certain bottomline at all costs. This would often mean senseless hiring freezes and travel bans when all logic and economic conditions in the marketplace would tell you otherwise. The company is extremely short term focused.
