Pros

Working with the Petcare division of Mars you can bring your dog to work each day which is a very nice plus. Company has great benefits with 3 weeks vacation your first year. They are very proactive in engaging associates with special events (South American breakfast for the opening day of World Cup was the most recent). If you are talented and willing to work hard, you will get promoted quickly.

Cons

As stated above, if you are willing to work hard you will get promoted but you have to put in 50-60 hours each week and it doesn't let up.

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.
