Bring your pet to work....

Pros

Working with the Petcare division of Mars you can bring your dog to work each day which is a very nice plus. Company has great benefits with 3 weeks vacation your first year. They are very proactive in engaging associates with special events (South American breakfast for the opening day of World Cup was the most recent). If you are talented and willing to work hard, you will get promoted quickly.

Cons

As stated above, if you are willing to work hard you will get promoted but you have to put in 50-60 hours each week and it doesn't let up.

Hopeless and average

Pros

Good salary and good benefits.

Cons

Once you’re hired, you realize how fake they are as people (nobody walks the talk) and how fake their 5 principles are (everybody talks about them, nobody lives them). People spend the average day attending meetings and meetings while they could be doing a better use of their time just doing their own jobs, being readily available to other people’s requests and not waiting three weeks for answering an email or for setting a face-to-face meeting. An average company, managed by an average management team, focus solely on complacency (“how good we are”) instead of taking actions to close the gap with the bests in class. Virtually hopeless.
