Pros

Good pay. Good work / life balance. Opportunity to travel abroad if you desire. Strong company with solid brands and a dep financial foundation.

Cons

Culture moves people to worry more about their careers than the work at hand. People are moved into other divisions in the middle of projects.

Pros

5 Principles: You have to be a Mars person (or Martian!) to know them, but they are applicable to everyday life and guide all interactions Mars has internally and externally. It's nice to have a framework within which to make decisions. They are fond of hiring ex-military, have good FMLA and other benefits. Once you're Mars, you're always Mars.

Cons

A bit of an old boys' network. Very traditional in places, as it is a family-owned company and those tend to be places where women struggle to advance. Not very good work/life balance. Once you're Mars, you're always Mars.

Pros

You can develop the accounts as far as you want, to be as creative as you can. When it comes to specail projects it gets bogged down by internal restrictions

Cons

The red tape to get items approved. The upper management stays the same and is slowly sinking the ship. Getting rid of a lot of talented people due to the restructuring and keeping the same old people in places.
