Most people are hard workers, collaborative and results-oriented.

Cons

Poor executive leadership leading to lack of innovation and constant "reorgs" every 3-4 years. Too many layers of management where it's difficult to gauge what they accomplish.

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.
