Pros

Privately held corporation allows for long-term focus. Huge focus on doing the right things for people and the planet (employees and communities alike). Great people, great people, great people.

Cons

Privately held means when the family has an idea, you need to go figure it out.

Pros

Mars has great salaries and great benefits, Engagement and development are important, talented people to work with, fun brands to work on.

Cons

Unfortunately, Mars has become a highly political environment. If you are not in the correct political circle you will struggle. This includes perceived alliances as well as real. The organization is also relatively flat, so advancement is difficult.

Most Dysfunctional Management EVER

Pros

Good benefits, opportunities to learn

Cons

Worked at a smaller division of Mars that most people don't know is owned by Mars.....including Mars themselves, I believe. Two thirds of the management team at this company are the most incompetent and unqualified group ever. Besides not knowing the industry that they are tasked with managing, they make it even worse by creating hostility, in-fighting among coworkers and in general, a very dysfunctional, spirit-breaking culture. They continue to go backwards in sales, profitability and brand awareness, yet get more arrogant and elitist. The "regular" employees are great....very qualified and engaged. Despite what the management believes, the employees are the only reason this small branch is still alive.
