According to employees at Mars Chocolate - a segment of the $33 billion Mars candy, pet care, and beverage company - the free Snickers and M&Ms aren't even the best part of their job.

"Mars Chocolate is a truly unique place to work," one associate told Business Insider during a visit to the Hackettstown, New Jersey, office in May 2016. "Everyone is passionate about the work they are doing - and the people are incredible. We are one big family and that's not something you get everywhere."
