Pros

The people who work there are nice, good people for the most part. The company participates in charitable activities. Free candy as they are a subsidiary of Mars M&Ms.

Cons

Politics are HUGE here. It doesn't matter if you do the best job, just if you kiss the right backsides. A great number of employees that aren't team players/have bad attitudes get promoted.

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.
