Not a great place to work... at all

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are good. Initial compensation is competitive.

Cons

No work life balance at all. None... trying to take vacation days is a major hassle. Poor service levels and constant cuts on production lead to huge customer service and sales issues. I routinely work 12-14 hours a day. In order to cut costs they have in the last year hired poorly qualified employees to support sales. They are in fact, terrible and lack experience which is a huge issue when relying on them for insights and analytics. Very focused on hiring younger workers...unless you are in the East there are limited opportunities to advance

Pros

Solid Business, been around for 100yrs. + Great way to make new friends Get knowledge of how candy is made.

Cons

To get promoted you must know someone, and give them everything they want. Give up your family life. Stress out till the end of time. No more normal life. If your not a Politics player you'll NEVER advance.

Pros

I worked at MARS Petcare for 7 years. Early on the company was amazing however as management changed so did the philosophy. Great people left and great people was let go, It was not a good place to work anymore.

Cons

New management was self centered and did not care about the team philosophy.
