Pros

- As part of the GLDP program, career opportunities available are very broad. Cross-functional and cross-segment experiences within the company are highly valued. - The company's 5 principles are alive in the decision making process of associates. They are the common thread between different functions and segments. - Work life balance is excellent. Each employee is resposible for delivering a high performance while managing their schedule.

Cons

- Brand awareness of Mars (and each of its segments) as a great place to work has not reached its pottential. The private nature of the company contributes to this matter. - For GLDP candidates, geographical mobility can be challenging since the program truly requires flexibility in this aspect.

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.
