      I ended up at Mars through a company acquisition so my time with the company is limited.

      Pros

      Free chocolate! There is a lot of talk about mutuality in the company. The pet care location allows pets in the workplace and the office environment is very open. There are no cubicles.

      Cons

      Each of the Mars brands operates almost independently---this is sometimes a positive and sometimes a negative. They don't have sick days. You either take it without pay or it it is treated as short-term disability. Pay is competitive, they have a 401K and a matching program. Health insurance isn't as good as some big companies but it isn't bad.

      A challenging and demanding employer

      Pros

      Excellent employee health and 401k benefits. Committed to continuing education. Challenging environment.

      Cons

      Management sets unreasonable work expectations. In order to meet expectations, working off the clock necessary in order to keep up with work load and safeguard employment status. Poor work life balance. Management is highly critical and will document insignificant miscues and use to undermine the associates during the review process. Poor mobility. Only associates within a desirable age range are promotable. Was once a diverse workplace. Now trending to younger associate pool. Salary levels are not comparable to large multinational competitors.
