      Smoke and mirrors - Maintenance Technician Mars Employee Review

      Pros

      Going home at the end of the day.

      Cons

      Every day is a new negative at this place. Force out your talent and hire more office people who add little if any value to your process. Every one of which has to come up with some new fancy acronym to justify their position. Constant change in procedures and processes by people who never even set foot on the production floor. No accountability, engineering is nonexistent. All claim to be working from home. Rarely answer emails or texts. From quality to maintenance to engineering everyone has left. It will take years to replace the talent that has left this facility. Mid level managers rarely leave their office. Constantly watching cameras that are supposed to be for "food safety".

      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.
