Mars
Employees say: "Our pets are treated as members of the business family, too. My dog has been coming to the office for 7 years now and pretty much does half my work for me. Okay, not really. But the pets at work does make a happy environment that you do not have elsewhere. It honestly is a large reason I don't look to move to other businesses. The business goes above and beyond when it comes to encouraging work-life balance and will even say something if they see this is not a healthy balance (both ways)."
"Mars is a family owned business and this thought carries down to every associate. Working here feels like you have a 'work family,' as everyone helps everyone. Also, we make connections outside of work and truly value each other as individuals. My daughter had her first day of kindergarten, and as a mom I was a little emotional, but my team was right behind, sending me notes about what a great mom I am as encouragement on an emotional day. I feel extremely grateful to be a MARS associate and plan to be here for my career."
