Pros

Great people, good working environment, safety, cleanliness, good pay compared to other food companies and work-hours flexibility in certain jobs.

Cons

Senior management covered for each other. Lack of proper discipline for managers who obviously played favorites. Very lean company, so you did more than your share of work. High levels of stress amongst hourly employees. Most say they can't wait to get out of there.

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.
