      Pros

      Higher pay than other companies in the area (even after they voted out the union). 18 week’s paternity leave 3 week paid vacation 6% 401k match

      Cons

      Management like to watch people through the camera without cause for investigation. (Lack of trust/ respect). Poor communication throughout entire company. Poor training, trainers without valuable experience teaching new hires. Lack of experience needed to successfully run important processes. Lack of concern from management when it comes to maintenance and turnarounds. Poor financial planning from upper management. Once they don’t like you they find a way to push you out.

      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.
