Pros

The work life balance is great and the fact that you work for a company who makes candy

Cons

Everything else. The company has changed and micromanages a ton. They do not find value in its employees with two different layoffs in the last few years. It just keeps going downhill and people are holding on to what used to be and not what is.

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.
