Pros

Many positions and room for growth within Chicago. Culture is very focused on Associate Development.

Cons

Wrigley campus is not close to downtown, and inconvenient for suburban commuters. Declining Gum business has been driving lean staffing and numerous restructures over the past 18 months.

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.
