Mars reviews

Leadership is well intentioned, but completely out of touch Suburban office location with plans on moving 30 miles outside of town Lack of community involvement with employees (work, go home, repeat) Lack of community involvement from the corporation (not engaged in the Nashville community at all) There's a designated "cry room" where they take people before they fire them and walk them out without warning. Every associate knows someone who got axed because it happens far too often Unable to execute strategies that win in the market No bonus in the last two years Promotions never happen - 50% of the office stays in the same role virtually forever if they keep their heads down Tough place for young people, gays, women or minorities - very old school environment, not much technology, terrible systems, antiquated corporate policies haven't been updated since the mid 2000's

Very loose processes, lack of maturity in areas that matter and can effect the bottom line. Not a very dynamic environment. Overtly focused on generalists that can be dropped into new roles every 2-3 years. Do not value technical expertise (although this is supposed to change). Hire people based on personality rather than technical skills. A very consensus driven environment, everyone can say no, few can say yes. Very lean and cost-conscientious. Speak highly about career growth but path is not well defined by HR. Hard to get noticed and equally hard to get fired. Lots of average generalists that lack industry knowledge.
