Pros

Hours and days off. None

Cons

Working for mars is a massive downside. People overlooked for promotion. Mars policies not followed my management. Always short staffed. New starters come and leave. Never stop more than a week. Them and us mentality between office and factory. The new “landslide” pay rise system is wrong. You can work your backside off all year for a exceeds pay rise but due to the “landslide” payment system you only get a meets pay rise. It looks to many of the factory staff that the place is going to be an R&D Hub

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.

Pros

Great people who believe in a common mission. Strong leadership and support.

Cons

Budgets and decision making for technical programs are centralized at a high level with little to no consideration for how it affects individual programs and their unique needs. Heavy bureaucracy involved in setting up simple things.
