Pros

-Flexible work policy if you are in the “in crowd” -Sparkling water machine & good coffee -No one is in the corporate office on Fridays.

Cons

Where do I start- -Not a diverse workforce, Many EEOC complaints to management and they have chosen to look the other way. -No ownership, vision or clear processes -Pat themselves on the back without looking at hard data to improve. They do not want to discuss gaps or opportunities. -Finance people are running HR. -The people that work hard are not promoted. Not a lot of opportunities for advancement within the HR space. -Your protected leave is not protected. Do not take it regardless of what they say! -Poor communication between departments. -Micromanagement -Leadership team is self seeking -Associate/Employee Relations is a joke to the supply business, along with the entire MyP&O model. -Varying levels of pay for the same role. -Only care about Gallup scores and Great Place to Work surveys -Instilling fear in Associates is how the MyP&O Leadership Team works -Family involvement is minimal, the business is rapidly growing and changing at a pace that will dissolve the unique culture. -Tenured associates are not valued. A long list of people have left the business either forced or voluntary. -Very reactionary, no strategic planning or change management strategy

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.
