Pros

1. You start with 3 weeks vacation time a year . 2. The salaries are not bad but you better walk on water.

Cons

1. Better use your vacation time to plan for sickness or you get "incident points". 2. Level positions are called 'zones' and higher zone people ignore lower zone people. You are not as valuable as they are. 3. One of the company's '5 Principles' is Mutuality, yet only Non Exempt employees need to clock in and out. Exempt (Salary) employees don't need to clock out, meaning they can pretty much come into the office, pretend to work for a little bit, then go and take the day off if they want and no one cares.

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.
