Pros

Strong Culture centered around the 5 Principles and making decisions based on all 5 Principles. Family owned and private makes the company have huge advantages.

Cons

Has been very private in the past but that's changing. Mars is starting to share it's story! There is probably more the company can do to improve work/life balance. While it's discussed about as being important I'm not necessarily sure it is. There are big expectations and Associates feel that pressure therefore not able to achieve work/life balance on any realistic level.

Pros

I’ve been at Mars (Yorkville site) for about three months as a Quality Systems Senior Specialist, and so far it’s been a great experience. Everyone has been genuinely friendly, welcoming, and willing to help. The culture feels very supportive—people want to see you succeed and are quick to share knowledge and offer guidance. My manager has been amazing and is truly invested in my growth. She’s helped set clear expectations, encouraged development, and provided the tools and support I need to be successful.

Cons

None so far—still new, but my experience has been very positive.
