understanding we have a life outside of work too. they force us weekend but they never show up to help.
Review from Operations Dept
Being inclusive more than just the local residents or mindset.
It is really clear that they are working hard for their bonus. They also don't have good communication around issues that matter the most to employees- pay, benefits, safety issues, etc.
Review from Operations Dept
following its vision and mission statements by not penny-pinching and taking away things like PTO from their employees through misleading policies
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Dollar for dollar 401k match to 6%
Variable pay and health and well-being benefits
Bonuses and hourly pay rate is high
everything about benefits is the best. That is just a small part that makes Mars amazing.
anual variable payment and flexibility
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Other associates are paid more because they befriend the leadership team.
yes, more money is definitely needed
Based on the headcount of my operation, the gross income it brings in and my skill set- and compare to others outside of MARS, the compensation is low, yet the demands are high. I would feel better if I had a yearly salary review, and about 15K more to match what my peers are making in similar field
Review from Operations Dept
