Pros

Mars truly stands behind its 5 principles and as an associate I used at least two of the principles every week. Company is privately owned and it shows up in the decisions you are able to make as an associate.

Cons

In recent years the company has gone through a number of rounds of layoffs and has missed annual revenue targets. While this is the company you keep it may be difficult to remain kept

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.
