Pros

Great pay benefits, the Mars family seems interested in continuing to operate the business on the 5 principles

Cons

There's a clear disconnect between what's actually being executed and the S&OP teams in the business. Leaders are promoted to roles they're incapable of doing, and if you fail in one are of the business you can always move to another area and screw that one up too. There are regular changes to organization by upper management to avoid responsibility of poor business performance and the disconnect and lack of accountability at the director level is unfortunate. There's always an excuse for not delivering results, most recently its system.

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.
