Pros

- Open office environment. Everyone is approachable and accessible. - Great products that consumers are passionate about. - Track record of breakthrough advertising and thought leadership on marketing best practices. - Numerous opportunities for marketing training - Regular rotations between different types of brand roles.

Cons

- Like most CPG firms, processes can be slow. Not able to quickly react to marketplace considerations. - Pay seems to trend below industry average, though bonus payouts can be significant - Hackettstown location (but most associates work from home one day/week, and many car pool from NYC or Morristown)

Pros

Solid company, diverse workforce, listen to associates, allow your to grow your career

Cons

Used to be a family-centered business that valued it's associates more. Since the elder Mars brother's retired, the company is now run by the kids/grandkids and it's much more about the bottom line.
