Pros

Great company and enjoyed the perks. Some managers were great! But not all.

Cons

Management at the site I was at was terrible. They would get in fights in the front office weekly. One of Mars’ beliefs was equality for all employees (which is why they had open office set up and same uniforms for everyone) but yet Managers would not treat themselves as “equals”. If you are late to a shift, even 30 seconds, then you get a point on your record. However, every morning the managers would come in after the scheduled time to come in and would not receive points on their record for that. A good manager comes in before their employees and after; however managers very seldomly came in on time. Was very disappointed in the management at this site and not following the principals that they preach to everyone.

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.
