Mars reviews

The culture of nepatism is destroying any chance of getting anything done. It takes 10 years to develop a good relationship with any of the long term staff (and there are a lot of them) in order to get anything done. This is very demoralising as a profesional engineer to have to make lots of plastic friends in order to achieve the simplest resolution to a problem. You should be able to ask a profesional to complete a task and he/she should just do it without weeks of office flirting and gallons of coffee. Way to much focus on soft skills and no visible means of improving manufacturing, mechanical or electrical skill levels. Any monkey can pick up a spanner and hit the machinery then ask for help saying ' I didn't touch it'. It makes for a miserable existance when you have to keep fixing the same issues day in day out. I will be leaving here soon and will not look back with fond memories.

Supervisors are trouble makers mainly because they are often left to do as they please by managers. Managers hire and fire at will with very little explanation or genuine cause. Unnecessary amounts of pressure is put on staff who are expected to be happy 100% of the time despite increasingly tense working environments. Managers regularly b*tch and gossip about the personal lives of colleagues and often try to control, manipulate and dictate how staff members live their lives and deal with issues outside of the work environment. When I first started working there the core principles> Mutuality, Freedom, Efficiency, Quality and Responsibility were thrown about heavily and we were encouraged to think of them and enforce them in our daily activities - towards the end we were told that mutuality was a lie and freedom certainly did not exist in that place. I do wonder how the Mars family would feel if they truly saw how M&M's World is being run.
