The What and the How

Pros

Company is organized. You can learn from this company.

Cons

You develop your successor. Then, you are gone. Mars moved from the "forced distribution" (Jack Welch ideology) to the "What and the How" with respect to mid and end of year Associate calibrations. Mars uses the "How" in a subjective manner to design their workforce. Lets put it this way.... If you are young and look good, you get promoted. If you have your head up someone's ___, you might survive past 50. Good luck. In short, you get around 50 years old and your days are numbered.

Pros

clean environment, good safety program, benefits are average, uniforms are provided for employees, shoes are partially paid for by company, health awareness program

Cons

Very political and intimidating atmosphere of management, management is very micro managing and not willing to let employees be pro-active on issues. Life/work balance is not good and impossible for non-exempt employees with forced overtime.
