Pros

Good bonus' IF the store is making target Can wear casual attire Free hot beverages in the staff room Opportunity to work more than contracted hours IF the store is making target

Cons

Supervisors are trouble makers mainly because they are often left to do as they please by managers. Managers hire and fire at will with very little explanation or genuine cause. Unnecessary amounts of pressure is put on staff who are expected to be happy 100% of the time despite increasingly tense working environments. Managers regularly b*tch and gossip about the personal lives of colleagues and often try to control, manipulate and dictate how staff members live their lives and deal with issues outside of the work environment. When I first started working there the core principles> Mutuality, Freedom, Efficiency, Quality and Responsibility were thrown about heavily and we were encouraged to think of them and enforce them in our daily activities - towards the end we were told that mutuality was a lie and freedom certainly did not exist in that place. I do wonder how the Mars family would feel if they truly saw how M&M's World is being run.

Pros

Decent benefits Stable job The lower ranking production workers and office people are a great bunch to work with. Free chocolate

Cons

Annual bonus is based upon opinion of managers with no set guide lines for rating. Job descriptions and reality don't match. Promotion and evaluation are not based upon competence and ability but on politics. Company propaganda is misleading. The old boys network controls everything to protect themselves at all costs. The few do the work of the many. Training is virtually non-existent and very hard to get. Everything is geared towards office people with little regard towards production workers.
