      Great company at its core

      Pros

      Mars provides good benefits with a 6% 401k match and good investment options. Many jobs are available and most management is supportive of furthering your career experience if you are willing to put in the effort to learn. Overall great place to work and has a unique culture.

      Cons

      Reorganization’s over the past 10 years have significantly sized down certain departments asking associates to do more with less support. Since it is such a big organization change is difficult to implement due to the slow speed the general organization moves at.

      Great People but Limited Internal Growth for Low-Levels

      Pros

      Mars has a great work/life balance (at least within my team) that is unmatched. I feel like I can take a walk or run to the store during the day and not miss a beat with work! There are some great line managers who truly care about you, and there is an annual survey that is taken to rate employee morale and trust. Each manager reviews the annonymus scores and makes a plan to improve issues.

      Cons

      For lower-leveled employees, there isn't a clear path for growth within P&O (human resources) and it's very disengaging to have to where to go after your first role. Upper-level management bounces around to new roles but moving up from a T1/T2 role is so difficul.
