Pros

Great Pay, Benefits, and Perks (Free Product)

Cons

Constant reorganization and layoffs since the merger. Leadership is not held accountable for implementing a terrible convenience store business strategy. The TSM role is waste and doesn’t help with gaining additional skill set. The promotion process is a joke, it’s about who you know and manager’s perception among her or his peers unless you are a college hire or family member. Also, organization has a ton of work ahead of them on diversity and inclusion. There is a lack of representation of black & brown people in senior leadership roles. I don’t think the family and executives really care because they have made zero progress.

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.
