Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I was relieved of my work without any concrete reasons and I was blocked from seeing any manager nor the administration to query their decision
Because I am still waiting to be hired on
i would love to keep my job and see consequences for the girl who has been targeting me. i didnt call the cops bc i wrongly trusted my superiors would take care of the situation. instead it's gotten worse due to their negligence
Review from Operations Dept
When you have a team of five people and only two show up for work then those two people have to do the work of five to keep up with production while working safely and not even being recognized for doing a good job.
Salary is not competitive nowadays
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Part of Mars performance management is just shuffling bad employees around the organization.
I was relieved of my work without any concrete reasons and I was blocked from seeing any manager nor the administration to query their decision
not talking about each other behind their backs. they say horrible cruel things and wonder why this industry had such a high suicide rate
Review from Operations Dept
the coworker needs to get therapy as she is mentally unstable and is being extremely agressive towsrds me for no reason
If teamwork was mandated and coworker were adhere to guidelines set it would be better.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Company culture centers around the fact that Mars is supposed to be a "family", so that is what they push.
Team work & leadership, avoid rework upon things that were not seen on the first time
keep personnel longer. turn over is very high
Review from Product Dept
faster decision making, better communications, bringing people along, one word: better change management
Not as much pressure to work as many hours.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Ask people about their work ethics and what it means to them. Ask what they enjoy doing on their off time and not hold it against them if they have a second job. .
Ask more intense questions. Try to find out what their work ethic is like
Review from Product Dept
pay more and stop hiring literally anyone that walks through the door.
