Pros

Part of Mars. Free Pet food (you do get hit with the taxes for it so be prepared)

Cons

There used to be a great culture but that all changed when the forced the former CEO away and did a consultant driven reorg. Where the former leadership team followed the Mars 5 principles and were always visible and in St Charles, they all left when their jobs were taken by European associates using the US business as a check the box for their career progression within Mars. The leadership is now mostly out of NY, rarely seen and they have no idea how the US business works. There is a severe lack of kibble (food) and all the management cares about is the promotion of the day that the French team is pushing so they look good.

Pros

Coworkers were very nice and helpful. Learned a lot about animals. Great PTO. Was about to take off when needed.

Cons

Loved working here at first, but then I felt like a machine. I understand KPIs and metrics, but repeating the same thing multiple times a day quickly tires you out. Having your calls listened to can feel pressuring and invasive, though I understand why it is done. Micromanaging by a new manager with no prior experience at the company made things worse. My previous manager was hands-off because he trusted his staff and their monthly reports; it wasn't necessary to hover over us. I had great KPIs and scores, but with my new manager, the goalposts were always moving, and it was never good enough. It was frustrating. I enjoyed everyone on my team, but, as always, it's the manager who overwhelms you for no reason and pushes you away. Throwing in how much the company has made during our quarterly meetings were kind of a slap in the face. Raises need to be a priority, this is a multimillion dollar company.
