Pros

You can make your work what you want to be. You will continually be challeneged by your peers. Managmenet is very strong and they will listen to your ideas. Very balanced male/female management (50% of managers are female). A great place to be developed. The five principles give associates a lot of freedom in makin decsision and having autonomy

Cons

The IT systems are truly poor; although some progress is being made. It can be about who you know and how you can leverage your networks. A more informal promotion process even though it is shrouded in formality

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.
