      Sr leaders pat themselves on the back, while associates struggle

      Associate

      Pros

      Has good benefits and competitive pay. Good established principles (not always followed now)

      Cons

      Used to be principled. Sr. Managers now blind to mid manager deficiencies. People join companies, leave managers. Watch for many leaving in the near future. Sr. Leaders are disconnected to the associate base. That used to be a strength - now a huge weakness. Only listening to news they want to hear. Very sad.

      Zero work life balance

      Pros

      They have a small onsite fitness center.

      Cons

      This company will work you to the bone and pressure you to not take vacation. I knew I had to leave when they had a problem with me taking a three day weekend to attend a FUNERAL. This continued to send me work emails that they expected me to respond to throughout that weekend. I couldn't stay with a company with such low morality.

      Mars of today vs yesterday

      Pros

      open office culture, freedom and flexibility to get stuff done, great for folks who build an informal network, pets at work, fair compensation and benefits - middle of the road. Fun to talk about pets and petfood, people are interested in what you do

      Cons

      numerous acquisitions in the recent years has diluted the culture a bit and allowed in a few low-performers through the cracks. The size is getting a bit cumbersome and it hurts some of the agility there was previously when the business was smaller
