Pros

Generally a good solid place to work. Pay is competitive with other CPG (though payscale is generally flat in US so employees in NYC area get a bit screwed over compared to Chicago and Tennessee). Very globally oriented - good opportunities for lots of cross-cultural/market interaction.

Cons

Slow moving/bureaucracy, cuts to benefits vs. old days (i.e. Mars no longer covers 100% of health premium).

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.
