Pros

Great core values from Mars and great talent from an IC perspective. Sales are the shining star in this Organization, an execution machine - they just don't have great innovation to work with and are trying to do their best with core products (that are great). Great Category Management team that provide clear insights into what the main issues are (and there are many!).

Cons

Supply Chain are a complete disaster with many employees realizing that management are holding them accountable without providing any leadership to help. No clue about how to sort out fundamental SC issues like good customer service. The people that are doing the real work are working hard but not really getting anywhere. Marketing have no idea what to do, they are clearly lost which is why the President cleaned house, need to get this sorted out to start to move forward.

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.
