      Pros

      You can bring your pet to work with you.

      Cons

      Overworked staff having to work off the clock to stay up to date. You are issued a company iPhone and you will respond at all hours on or off the clock. Worst mistake of my career going to work here too much to write and too little room.

      Pros

      Successful brands, lots of support, good pople.

      Cons

      The "professional" management who replaced the family destroyed a vibrant culture by instituting a destructive personnel development system. Management changed from Mars Centurions to temporary mercenaries. Lack of focus on results rife due to focus on cosmetics.

      Mars Symbioscience - An utter nightmare and career killer

      Pros

      Mars, Inc is truly a great company. The pet and chocolate divisions are wonderful places to work, run by very smart people.

      Cons

      Stay away from the Symbioscience Division. It is managed by a family member whose behavior and management skills are often frightening. The management team of the unit have little to no management experience. Their sole mission is to ensure that the unit spends their budgets, as volume and profitability are not really that important. If you are really serious about your professional career and reputation, I highly recommend staying in the pet, food or candy units.
