Mars United Commerce

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people who make the work happen. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
An unrelenting, unproductive and completely unnecessary security policy. 

If you ever want to update your portfolio don’t work here. I have a 4 year void where I have zero work to show. I had to cobble together creative, recreate decks from memory, rewrite strategy. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
People are great. Company policies are oppressive. The culture died with Covid. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
5 hours of meetings, 9 hours of work, 1 hour of house keeping. Typically long days. I’ve heard they have staffed up some teams but overall they carry a lean staff and rely on freelance. But again, the security and procedures in place make it impossible to contract a freelancer in under 2 weeks. Often times the need is gone by then. Typically pulling internal resources. Even when trying to get a returning freelance body the process doesn’t change.

Working at Mars is great! Good people to work with and projects are interesting. Always new clients and our existing clients always have new projects for us. It's a fun and exciting place to work. Every month Mars pays for team building events (canoe float, pontoon on lake, miniature golf, Naturals baseball game, etc.). It's a really nice thing that Mars does for it's people. Relax and really get to know each other outside of work. Just makes those relationships that much stronger. It's a tight team. Mars also pays for food & drinks for team to have thru out the day. The kitchen is loaded with things from breakfast items to lunch items. Anything you might want to have is in their kitchen. Any type of coffee too. Good place to work. I would suggest The Mars Agency to anyone to work at.

Management is awful.  Do not provide any training or give you the necessary tools, especially more people to work in the department to help get all the work they demand to get lol done.   They talk about work life balance but depending  on who you are there is none. Do not follow up on anything.  Very good at ignoring emails and slacks.  
 The  Benefits are great.!  But not worth all of the aggravation, stress and bullying you receive.   Management likes to hire people they have worked with before and treats the employees who already work there unfairly.   Policies and requirements are not  uniform throughout the department.  They like to single people out.    AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL PLACE TO WORK.

I am a longer-term employee at MARS and I appreciate that this company values good ideas no matter who brings them to the table. It's a small place, so senior management knows everyone, and there are many opportunities to showcase your passions and talents outside of your daily job. There are some great, smart people here too- many of whom have become good friends.

The people who are successful here are those who are okay with change, and who roll up their sleeves. Directing without getting your hands dirty does not fly here. It may not be a place for everyone, but it works for me.

Some of the best in the industry are employed here and the output is stellar, A+ even. 
The organization's culture, however, leaves much to be desired. It's like being in high school and bad behavior that would get most people fired in any other company isn't discouraged, leaving people who have been allowed to get away with it for years thinking that it's ok. 
Staff in every department is overwhelmed and left juggling 20 balls with 2 hands leaving them set up for failure. People are overworked in every department as they try to get clients what they need without the proper support to do so. It was once a great place to work but has been on a slow decline.

Working at Mars United as a Brand Ambassador was a great experience overall. The team was supportive, communication was clear, and the work environment was professional and flexible. I enjoyed interacting with customers, representing different brands, and developing my communication and customer service skills through various campaigns and events.
The role was especially good for building confidence, adaptability, and experience in fast-paced retail environments. Management was approachable and shifts were generally well organised. A good opportunity for students or anyone looking for flexible work and experience in promotional marketing.

Highly toxic environment that is driven by leadership.   A lot of fake fanfare (great places to work credentials, etc) however it is not true.   Leadership watches everything, if you take a lunch (aka - microwave and eat at your desk), you don't work hard enough, if you perhaps walk to the restroom or are seen walking to a meeting, leadership will assume you are not working.   They tout a 37.5 or 40 hour workweek, with a start time of 830, however if you arrive at 831, you will see the CEO walking around doing seat checks, he does the same at 5 pm.   Avoid if possible.

Mars is a solid place to work if you are okay with long hours, and a steady work flow. Creative freedom lacks, given the tough CPG clients. But a great place for a creative to hone in on important basic advertising skills. Management was a bit all over the place, but higher up creatives seem to know what they are doing and do an amazing job. Overall good experience.

I recommend working for The Mars Agency. The company has high consideration of its staff, more of a family culture where you can speak with management to discuss best ways of working to provide the most effective and efficient practices for project delivery. The company is very innovative, a leader of its craft that's marveled by the competition.

A good place grow as you delve into the world of global commerce intelligence. Mars Agency has been in business for many decades which has allowed the agency to embed themselves deeply within the marketplace. It was a good experience working for an agency that was well respected by so many of their competitors.
