Pros

Pay is good, benefits are good,

Cons

They expects you to work long hours & weekends. As you progress up the ladder, you will soon be laid off by one of their so call "reorganizations". Then your job will be resposted in a couple of months for less pay. As you get close to 50, they be begin pushing you out the door. They have learned their lessons from numerous law suits. Now everything is well documented and rules geared to the removal of middle management.

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.
