Inept management. Us and them culture with factory and office staff. Factory staff being the peasants. Factory too hot most of time. Absolutely unbearable in summertime. Office is environmentally controlled. One of many double standards. Benefits being cut and reduced year on year. Bullying culture covered with lies. People have been threatened physically and the incidents buried and ignored. Can think of 3 people off hand who was protected after bullying and also promoted soon after. Company lives by their 5 principles, a very long winded mission statement, all corporate spin. Pay suppressed, benefits slashed as the company keeps buying new companies. Privately owned by Mars family but ran by a board so now just like any stock exchange company. Taking more off the workers and keeping for themselves. If shift working very tiring and mentally draining. Apparently everyone can have any career they want at Mars! Managers have their favourites, meaning the ones who lie and blow their own trumpet whilst the decent people do all the work. The site management team are paid shockingly high salaries and do very little to earn them. Always ready to shift blame instead of take the responsibility they are paid for. Themselves and other middle management tend to swap roles or have interim roles made up for them. No accountability whatsoever. Recruitment is awful, always short staffed, huge turnover of staff. Takes too long to employ next group of people and questionable recruitment methods and testing.
