My experience has been great, and I can see myself here in years down the line as management.
The good thingsThe culture here at Mars is great. The leaders support growth and have managed to remove the toxic mentality that you normally find in other industries. Hours are great for shift work and the pay is great as well.
The challengesThe only real challenges here at Mars are learning the systems and procedures. Getting used to shift work as well. Managers all give great support to help in these area's though.

Machine Operator and Production Worker
Aug 2026Ballarat VIC 335024 to 25 years in the role, former employee
Toxic place that isn’t what it used to be. Heard it’s getting worse too
The good thingsEarly days there, the pay at the start
The challengesThere’s no honesty, a lot of favouritism. Managers have said it’s a perception based company, reputation is everything . I had about 15 mangers over 20 years. No training for associates or managers. The canteen is average, nothing really there for night shift, all geared for the office staff. I heard it’s getting worse, when I left it was a toxic place.
