Pros

NOTHING. There might be some pros in the locations outside of Milwaukee, but seriously, there are none at the Corporate location.

Cons

Poor management, top to bottom. In fact, most are very rude and condescending. The company and the management does not care about their employees. Raises are small. All the money goes to the rudest top level managers. They have a 401k matching, but it is not given in each pay period, instead, they hold on to the match and give it in one lump sum. Corporate doesn't value your work or contributions. You'll never hear that you did a good job. There is no structure around performance planning, employee development, etc. There is no structure on anything in corporate. It's a wonder they can even run this business. You are strongly advised to shave facial hair. They care much more about your appearance than your performance or personality.

Pros

There is a strong in-office culture with great people who are eager to help one another succeed. Business continues to boom with new developments and provides opportunities across a wide variety of roles for internal promotions. As a leader in the industry, it is easy to stand behind the products made at Sensient and allows for great confidence in what we create.

Cons

The company has a fairly strict policy on working in-office and enforces a business professional dress code, which can be limiting in daily flexibility but does provide strong guidelines for seperating work and personal life.

Pros

Customer-focused, results-oriented, high integrity organization that produces and sells exciting products in global markets. Sensient may not be a household name, but its products are probably in your home, as part of your favorite food and personal care products. This is a company that values and rewards individuals who work hard and help grow the business. A strong focus on coaching and development ensures motivated employees have a path to career growth and fulfillment.

Cons

This is a con only depending on what you are looking for: You can't hide here. This is not the organization for you if you prefer to work M/F from home (Company has always been 5 days in office), or you want a casual work environment. However, if you like a challenge, you have high goals for yourself, and you thrive on showing up, doing your best work, and getting rewarded for your results, you will love it at Sensient.
