      Pros

      Smaller business unit that allows for collaboration across functions Nice office location

      Cons

      Leadership including management team is incompetent - no idea what they are doing; people with little experience in what they are doing are promoted Management does not take accountability for actions, instead likes to push the blame to others in the organization Cannot voice opinions unless in line with leadership (or see your performance reviews suffer) Mediocrity is rewarded Management pretends to care about associates - with lunches, cupcakes, and smiles, but this is all a farce The principles of the organization do not show themselves here which is an utter disappointment given that this segment is run by a family member.

      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.
