Good and bad

Pros

The best part of working for Mars is being associated with some great brands like M&Ms and Snickers. Mars encourages growth and learning. They are not process oriented, but rather results oriented. You are encouraged to get results using whatever process works for you. Mars is a very collaborative environment. Networking is essential. Your experience at Mars will be very dependant on the quality of your manager.

Cons

Too much pretending. Very, very political and it is very risky to go against the crowd. Mars can be an overly competitive environment. It would be better to focus our efforts on the competition outside of the company.

Pros

You are allowed to bring your pets to work with you. Most people are very devoted to producing quality products/services.

Cons

Management makes employee decisions very politically, and could be based on who they like or don't like. Limited recognition for hard work.

Pros

Benefits & Bonus are nice to have, especially in the current climate. The site is beautiful too.... you can't beat that view!

Cons

Too many people 'feathering their own nests'. Lack of direction or guidence from Senior Management. Work life balance is terrible. You are 'expected' to forsake all else for Wrigley. Not enough staff to make the product effectively.... been cut to the bone.
