      Pros

      Awesome benefits - Company car/gas card, expense account, Ipad/computer, etc. Mars does a great job at letting you "be your own boss", which allows you to manage your territory however you want. As long as you're working towards the goal, the freedom is unparalleled.

      Cons

      Too many policies that is starting to take freedom out of the position. The company is starting to stray away from five principles, which was one of the reasons I signed on. Let the reps sell...simple as that.

      Wonderful people work there, however,when management changes, so does the entire company because it's so lean.

      Pros

      Because it is privately held, the business information is shared across the organization, and everyone is in it to win it! They pay really well because there are no RSU's. Bonuses are healthy when the company makes its numbers. The work was wonderful and challenging, not one boring day in six years! Very global with opportunity to learn about foreign business perspectives. The opportunities to contribute to the success of the business were phenomenal!

      Cons

      The pace of snack marketing is fast, and yet it is the leanest company I have ever worked for. You had better have someone in management watching your back, because it is so competitive, especially around bonus time. They grade on a strict bell curve which causes managers to throw other managers' direct reports under the bus during calibration sessions.

      What a hypocritical place this is

      Pros

      Well known brands, free coffee.

      Cons

      The finance group is managed by a group of unhappy old timers with no personal life and terrible people skills. If you're willing to live in the office, work on weekends and being treated like a slave, this is the place for you. Otherwise, just stay away. There’s lots of infighting and paranoia, everyone seems to be out for themselves and there are no genuine friendships among employees. The 5 principles are a joke and the engagement survey is the most hypocritical thing I've ever seen in my entire career.
