Pros

Love hearing the positive news, even when the ship is sinking, so you walk away happy. Being a cult you are surrounded by an echo chamber, so you will be happy, irrespective of what's going on Fantastic brand recognition you never feel you are missing out on anything until you leave

Kontras

1. You never feel you are missing out on anything until you leave. 2. Once you leave and it takes about a year before you realize how demented the organization is. The rest of the world has moved away in salaries, promotions, careers, and you find yourself repeating the 5 principles mantra. 3. Company is hemorrhaging money and losing people and yet, no talk about it. 4. No one wants to change anything. Leadership globally is made up of Western EU expats from a clique , and they don't want change, as they will lose their benefits. 5. Someone tell me how will an expat know how to do business in China? this is a company that has invested billions of dollars over 2 decades. Their Chinese employees tell them candy, desserts are not part of the food habits there! but why will an expat listen? they get paid overseas pay free school for kids, free housing. 6. All Non EU employees are there to fill the room with positive talk and the greatness of the 5 principles! Love it! 7. Speak with some ex Martians, and all will tell you its a cult and they realized it only a few months after leaving. 8. In all honesty I never leave reviews for a company, as why would I want change in a company I have left, let them stew. This is just to forewarn and people who are enthusiastic and tuned for change. Mars is not, so don't waste your time, energy, and enthusiasm.

Pros

- Company car (fuel card, insurance, etc) - Good benefits - Great brand exposure/understanding of CPG sales at the retail level - Annual sales meeting is fun, but exhausting - Simple job

Kontras

- Micromanaged by leadership (EVERYTHING is tracked) - Extremely repetitive work (not much freedom in creating your schedule, same tasks over and over, etc.) - Dealing with retail management. If you don't have respectful store managers, good luck. A lot of your KPI's are out of your control and your experience relies on your store. - As DOZENS of other people have said, this is a merchandising job - not sales. You are responsible for placing product on the sales floor after consulting with the store (basically asking management who only views you as free manual labor). There is no commission/incentive for producing positive results. - SEASONS: this is the reason why you have this job if you're working with the Walmart channel. You have unrealistic expectations set from leadership to pack out hundreds of heavy cases of candy each holiday season after begging store management for space to place it. Most of the stores' back rooms are a complete mess and a lot of your product is inaccessible. Long days are expected with no additional pay. - Work/life balance: It is frowned upon to work the bare minimum of 40 hours/week. Your stores get backed up while you're on PTO. Overall: an okay role This isn't a bad job by any means, you just need to know what the role entails before taking this job. You need to relocate for any future opportunities within the company.
