Pros

people are truly nice and helpful no elbows out culture a lot of tools for development

Cons

although it's a family company the thinking is very short term. salary highly based on variable and the short term thinking generates impossible target and therefore very low bonus for a while decisions are extremely extremely slow the 5 principles are not really lived by leadership, it's a good PR stunt

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.
