      Pros

      Great benefits, some nice people

      Cons

      treats non-exempt employees like dirt despite the company pretending to have an equitable working environment, managers play favorites, very difficult to move up in company, horrible age discrimination in hiring practices (have been sued multiple times), people are incredibly phony & walk around with fake smiles, do not follow their mission statement at all

      Slow decision making. High ratio of recruitment of Sr. Leaders from external companies conflicting with culture.

      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.
