      Nepotism, Disconnect, Bipolar Business Strategy!

      Sales

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great pay, great benefits- 401K match, pension, paid sick days, 3 weeks vacation starting.

      Cons

      Nepotism runs rampant, trumps good business decisions. Company strategy is nonexistent with sales expansions one year and layoffs the next. Internal unspoken company policy is quintessentially “don’t ask, don’t tell.” Leadership preaches the five principles but does not walk the talk. There is a Consistent disconnect between internal team objectives and leadership regarding the realities of the job. Employees often go without the basic tools to do their jobs and are expected to create solutions which are then labeled “ development projects” outside of regular job duties and business hours.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are so many pro's to working for the Petcare Division. The Mars 5 Principles truly guide the business as well as their mission for A Better World for Pets. The benefits are great with an excellent 401k, paid time off for vacation along with separate paid time off for sick leave, and holidays are paid. Even though I was hourly, the pay was above average for the industry. The company supports its employees with personal development and strives to help you grow into your next role. This was surprising to me as previous companies I worked for it was almost taboo to talk about what you would like your next role to be. The work environment is very inclusive and dress is business casual. If you work in the corporate headquarters, you even have the option to bring your dog to work with you. Benefits start on first day and the on-boarding process really gives you an in-depth look at the company and its values. They are very big on culture fit so strive to ensure that they hire people who can embody the 5 principles.

      Cons

      My second role in the company is where I unfortunately learned the con's of the company. My manager did not hold true to the 5 principles and unfortunately, played favorites. It is hard to succeed in a role when you are never praised for your work but told daily how you have failed. In the end, it all depends on how your department is perceived rather than keeping good talent around. It really saddened me to see that there was no consistency in good management. Additionally, mental health is not truly a concern for them despite what they would have you believe otherwise. It is ignored completely. Depression is perceived as someone "not engaged" and every associate (that I knew) who took FML leave for mental health reasons did not have a job when he or she came back to work.
