Pros

originally people were great; enthusiasm of employees, family atmosphere, caring for each other, real team work between management and employees; performance recognized.

Cons

Last few years loss of family atmosphere, fear of job loss among employees and management, lack of trust between management and employees, change to open office work environment. Insincerity of management and fear that sparks employees to give the responses to surveys that management wants to hear rather than the truth. Too many changes in Management in Supply Chain. Canada is seen as a training ground for new Managers so they are more concerned with making their mark than working with employees and creating a enjoyable work environment that inspires employees to work hard and give back to the company due to pride in the product and place where they worked. IF you know you are going to be there for only 2 or less years you do not necessarily make decisions that have positive long lasting effects; instead quick fixes and what's best for us right now and let the next guy deal with the negative long term consequences.

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.
