Pros

The pay was fair, benefits are excellent, health, dental, vision, 3wks vacation, 401k, a savings plan, a yearly bonus, and a picnic.

Cons

Once Wrigley was bought by Mars, everything slowly but surely went to crap. Production/manufacturing employees were treated as expendable slaves. No trust, no morale, safety is an issue, management just doesnt seem to care(not all but most), use of scare tactics, HIGHLY STRESSFUL ENVIROMENT!

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.
