Pros

Part of Mars. Free Pet food (you do get hit with the taxes for it so be prepared)

Cons

There used to be a great culture but that all changed when the forced the former CEO away and did a consultant driven reorg. Where the former leadership team followed the Mars 5 principles and were always visible and in St Charles, they all left when their jobs were taken by European associates using the US business as a check the box for their career progression within Mars. The leadership is now mostly out of NY, rarely seen and they have no idea how the US business works. There is a severe lack of kibble (food) and all the management cares about is the promotion of the day that the French team is pushing so they look good.

Pros

Free pet food, can bring pets to office (prior to Covid). Fun people to work with.

Cons

Horrible leadership. Promotions are few and far between and are based on who has gotten the face time with the leadership team vs who has driven the business. Recent reorg drove out the former US leadership team and replaced with regional French team who have low comprehension of the US market. They micromanage their teams and put plans together to impress the HQ team in France but are unachievable due to constant product shortages.
