Pros

Decent work/life balance Decent money 2 weeks off at Christmas Free chocolate (not as much as you'd expect) Some nice people

Cons

Management are idiots that take credit for people in the factory doing all the work. Management force you into work after suffering a workplace injury and get signed off. Occupational health have no idea how mental health works. You're expected to eat from a vending machine at weekends. Lunch gets stolen from the fridges. Management out you on PIP when you are off with mental health issues.

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.
