Pros

Benefits, 401k, and PTO are absolutely great. Company name great for resume. Recommend staying for a year or two then bouncing if you don’t get promoted.

Cons

Punctuality bonus. If you’re late, they dock your pay. See grown adults rushing to swipe their badge to clock in…Favoritism as with like any other company. Limited room for growth pending office politics. If they like you…you get promoted. Nepotism…Management will create internships for their nieces, nephews, and children of their neighbors. Culture is about 5 principles which is great but still old school company.

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.
