Pros

Culture, culture, culture. Associates' commitment to the 5 Principles is felt across all functions in each of the segments, and the open-office floorpans really contribute to the collaboration and sense of community present in all locations. Also, the diverse segments of Mars provide many options for a long and fulfilling career within the company. That being said, Mars values independence and associates who take initiative with their careers and within their roles. There are innumerable resources for development and advancement within the company, but if you're not willing to take your career in your own hands it will be hard to move up!

Cons

The constant availability of candy and ice cream pretty much guarantees you'll gain 15 pounds within the first month of work...at any office...even in the Petcare division!

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.
