Pros

Loads of opportunities at Mars Drinks to develop and grow. I started working here as a Contractor about a year ago and have been made associate just over a month ago. There is every opportunity to progress here Management want to make sure that every associate enjoys there place of work & engagement is Key. I have never worked for a company that cares so much about the happiness of the people who work there. Everyone in the office is warm and kind towards you and is happy to help in every aspect, makes it a lovely place to work. The benefits of working for Mars Drinks are also great including generous salary, pension and other benefits including private health care.

Cons

I have no cons worth listing and will not be leaving in a hurry, I see myself working here for a long time. The majority of associates have been here for years which speaks for it's self.

Pros

Strong and clear set of company values. Excellent all-encompassing benefits package. Good work-life balance. Great focus on personal development. Competitive salary.

Cons

Often seems to be an over-focus on making sure everybody gets their say, at the expense of impetus. Often progress feels very slow. Antiquated IT systems.

Pros

Engaging, inclusive culture. Fun, exciting and growing brands. Excellent pay and benefits. Ambitious, collaborative and energetic people. An aspirational place to grow your career with excellent support from line manager and other associates. Privately owned so can make smart short and long term decisions instead of having to answer to the 'street'!

Cons

Can be too internally focussed and located in unattractive locations which limits talent pool(except Wrigley)
