Pluspunten

Great company for the most part. They have awesome benefits, brands, and overall a very strong business. They operate in many areas all over the world. IF you get in good you can really be set up nicely. This can be an awesome place to work for sure.

Minpunten

The cons are mostly around favortism. It can be very dominated by cliques here, you really do have to be with the in crowd for the most part to move up. Diversity is a problem here, so much they called it out at the National Meeting. Yet, they have done little to improve this. Many roles go to similar looking people, so its hard to break that. You can check out HQ offices around the country to verify this or look at who has roles that can get you to the next level, please check around if you don't believe me. I often feel that the playing field isn't equal. There are several high performing people of color of get passed over or are just held in place. I know many have left due to being discourgared or not supported. One last thing, i've seen so many of the "majority" propelled and promoted it's not even funny. Many whom haven't been in role minimum time or have made significant impacts to earn it. Please fix the diversity issue ! Some promotions are not given out to those who earned them, rather who fits in for the most part. Also, certain people get "chances" aka selected to try better jobs, there isn't any consistency on this. If they are comfortable with you, they will promote you regardless of success. Many people are selected for some roles too, sometimes there isn't a fair chance. Lastly, there is so much money left on the table by those who don't know what they are doing in their role, Mars could make sooooo much more money it's not even funny. Lot of people skate by and do little to drive revenue to where it could be. They are still celebrated, so why change? If you threaten the status quo you may not be promoted in some areas. Fitting in here goes a long way.

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.
