Taking reports from customers who get involve in an accident vehicles
Counselor (Former Employee), Toronto, ON – March 4, 2013
I was a CO-OP student working at Accident Reporting Center. It was from Monday to Friday starting from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm. What I had to do it's taking report from customers who came after getting in the accident, and doing data entry into computer before sending them to the police officers because we work together with them. We were receiving calls – more... from customers also for all inquiries. Taking pictures of the damage vehicles to send them to differente insurance companies. I learned about when having an accident vehicle what Somebody should do. I learned different computer system. We had a time management for everyone to work efficiently. My co-workers were fantastic; we share and work in a team setting sometimes. The hardest part of the job when it is snowing and very cold outside, where everyone had one hour taking picture of the vehicles outside and place the stickers on the wet damage part of the vehicles. the most enjoyable part the customers, the police officers; the co-workers are very friendly out there. I give you one example where I worked as a counselor. – less

Fun workplace with lots of responsabilities
FINANCIAL CONTROLLER (Former Employee), Bamako/Mali – February 13, 2013
Pros: lots of responsabilities and communication with business units
Cons: long hours of work, especially at the end of month
I usually had a very busy day at work with a lot of pressure when I worked with the Group Office. I learned how to work with different cultures when I traveled to another affiliate to work with other colleagues of different countries. I learned how to manage people when I supervised 5 people in the departement. I helped the Manager in decision making. – more... The most difficult of the job was when I stayed at work over midnight every end month to prepare the financial statement for the Central Bank and for the Group Office. However the enjoyable part of my job was the sharing experience, And the making decision with the Manager. – less

Sr. Sales Planning Analyst (Current Employee), Franklin, TN – March 27, 2013
Pros: work-life balance is a huge part of the culture.

Compensation good but very poor with diversity
Infrastructure Lead (Former Employee), New Jersey – March 15, 2013
Pros: compensation for 40 hour week
Cons: diversity very poor
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.

Contracted Senior Fixed Asset Accountant
Contracted Senior Fixed Asset Accountant (Current Employee), Hackettstown, NJ – January 14, 2013
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.

Great place working overnight with a great team
Floor Maitenance (Current Employee), Aberdeen, MD – November 6, 2012
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

Operator (Former Employee), Earth City, MO – August 14, 2012
Pros: great people, work that i liked

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
