Their core values are a part of everyday life in and out of the office. It is a great place to learn and grow as an associate.

Compensation is good if you don't have to work a 60 hour week - make certain you check on the "real" hours expected to work per week.
Diversity is very poor at this company hence if you are a woman, minority, or older worker expect trouble with advancing your career at this company.
Promotions are very political, rarely Merit based.

It just has no room for growth, They hire outside the company for availble positions

I have fun talking to the customers while I work. Restock all the shelves if needed see if we have any items in the back that are needed in the front.

Mars Inc. as a whole is a great company to work for. However, I am a contracted employee as I have been contracting for a while. I supervise the Fixed Asset process as it exists today. The reason I am a contractor is because Finance is being centralized to Chicago.

I learned how to work with a team of people and enjoyed the hours that I was working at this company. Factory was just not really my line of work.

A part time job with flexible hours and a opportunity to have fun

Excellent place to work with competitive pay however long hours and managers are on salary so there is no overtime! No work life balance which is a morale killer!

A typical day for me at mars starts out with me gathering all my supplies. Based on the tasks for the night I begin to plan my course of action. I have learned time management and decision making is very important when your working in this environment. Management is very easy to get along with and quickly learned they could trust me to get the job done. – more... Though I an the only Floor maintenance personnel at the store. I do have some coworkers who stock the isles. occasionally I must work around them but this has never been a problem. The hardest part of the job would be working overnight. The thing I like most about Mars is the sense of accomplishment at the end of a shift. – less

it was a bus disaster and a lot of people died.Life is very precious once loosed you will never get it.we did our best,most people were burnt beyond recognition.its very painful for someone to die whilist you are there especially when you cant help cause of the situation.its so encouraging to see that you managed to save life

I was the guy that covered for the sick operators so everyday was different for me because I was always doing something different. I leaned the entire warehouse and got very good at working fast in new areas though out the day. Hardest part of the job was never having an easy part of the day becasue I was always put in the areas that were behind to – more... help catch them up but the best part was always being on a different kind of machine everyday. – less

* I enjoy coming to work with people that I get around, I have a good time with. I have to prepare proposals using BJ cement engineer softwares with estimate cost for assigned customer, attend daily meeting with customer, participate and discuss the cement job, maintain close liaison with field service and lab personal.
* I was able to really develop – more... my leadership skills.
*I held all responsibility for getting this job completed on time, I did this in most cases by appealing to my team mates.
* on several occasions I have had to deal with some irate customer, I do my best to be professional and not get my emotion involved.
* having an weekly meeting where we can talk about any pressing tasks or duties that the team should focus on, it's just nice to have a forum where every one can talk about their status on their role and if they need help, can ask for it from others who might have some extra time. – less

Brainstormed with scientists about different ideas that could eventually help man land in Mars.

A typical day at work was always a good day. One of the things that ive learned from this company is that always making the guest feel welcome and leave happy. My manager was always fun and upbeat and we always had meetings about the company. There was never any hard part to the job i always loved a challange. The most enjoyable part of the job was – more... seeing the kids happy and playing and enjoying the company store. – less

Working with people , serving in a restaurant .. Workin in a great team , really fun as work ! The most enjoyable part of the work is that you learn new things and you get to make new friends.

general cleaning of the factory, had to be to a high standard, bit of a lanuage problem with some c workers who could not speak very good english. the hardest part of the job was cleaning the ovens, the most enjoyable part was the cheap sweets and canteen
