Pros

Got paid to do nothing frequently

Cons

Management is a joke, they seem to think that it is the only place to work in the area. So the arrogance is strong, thus it is driving people away. Swing shift is a joke... again management will not make the shifts more tolerable saying the employees want the swing when it is simply not true. I could go on but people need to see for themselves to believe...

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.
