- 4.0May 7, 2017Anonymous EmployeeCurrent Employee
Pros
Gym and showers inside building, with access to a personal training session each week. Potential opportunities for international (ex-pat) assignments.
Cons
Long hours expected to compensate for understaffed Corporate function (company culture of minimizing the appearance of a large Corporate). Open office environment (no privacy) in cramped space. Entire Corporate office desk/pod arrangement is squeezed into a single floor. Pay is great for senior executives, but is under market for mid-level managers and below.

Mars Response2yThank you for taking the time to write a review to share your experience with us and provide such constructive feedback. Yours is clearly not the experience we aim to offer our Associates, and we're incredibly sorry to hear that during your time at Mars you did not receive the right level of support. We deeply care for our Associates' wellbeing and development, and are dedicated to always improving, so we would really appreciate the opportunity to discuss this further with you. Please reach out to the Mars Ombudsmen team at ombudsman@effem.com. They are an independent, confidential, informal and neutral resource available to all Associates. We look forward to hearing from you.
