Pluspunten

Culture: Mars has a very unique and strong culture guided by the Five Principles (Quality, Responsibility, Mutuality, Efficiency, and Freedom). You can really feel these values in daily decision-making. Work-Life Balance: Generally better than Big 4 or top-tier consulting. The company respects personal time, and the "pet-friendly" office policy makes the atmosphere much more relaxed. Development: Great focus on "Associate" development. There are many internal training programs (Mars University) and opportunities to rotate between different segments (Petcare, Snacking, Food). People: Super collaborative teams. People are approachable, and there’s a lack of "stiff" hierarchy compared to other FMCG giants.

Minpunten

Pace of Change: Because it's a massive, family-owned business, some processes can feel a bit slow or traditional. Implementing new financial tools/software can take time. Open Office: The open-plan office can get quite loud, which might be distracting when you need deep focus for complex financial modeling. Structure: Can be complex to navigate the matrix organization if you are new to the company.

Pluspunten

- 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

Minpunten

- 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.
