      More cons than pros

      Veterinary assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Mars has been fairly quick providing us with updated equipment.

      Cons

      Focused on revenue rather than employees and pet/pet owners. Constantly raising client costs which many people can no longer afford to pay has caused staff to be emotionally affected knowing the pet can be helped but we can do so little other than offer the small discounts we are allowed to offer. Pay sucks. I attended two schools and received Vet Asst. certification from both with a 4.0 GPA, have worked at my hospital for 25+ years and taken many CE classes during those years to stay up to date on animal care. Yet new hires with no animal experience, some hired with no previous job experience, are paid the same amount that I am. Pray that you are not injured on the job and claim L&I because Mars will deny your claim saying your injury was preexisting. They will probably consent to a dog or cat bite witnessed by others while at work but a broken bone or muscle pull, good luck.

      A cult might be less cultish than here

      Associate director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      . Excellent product recognition . Chances to collaborate and work with teams across the globe . Slow paced ( when was the last time a new product or way to market was created?) . Old School so no need to hurry . 95% of Director and Higher positions are EU expats so get to hear a lot of British Jokes and humor

      Cons

      . Mediocre pay, but the slow pace of works means its worth it . Being in the USA, one can forget about promotions above Associate Director levels, and given the slow pace of work, why would anyone want a promotion . Senior leadership is a clique and tribal in nature. however, if one isn't looking for promotions then an excellent place to retire . The family really doesn't look for high performers, its the accent that brings a promotion. . It's not any different than any private owned company, where everyone sings praises of the "family", and it's ok, as long as you remember its "the family" and not your family they care about :). . No diversity to speak about, the only diversity I saw was the expats and I think color of one's skin doesn't matter here, but the color of one's passport needs to be the EU passport.
