Too Good to be True

Pros

Sensient usually pays well BUT they do get their money from you in long hours, harassment and other work issues

Cons

I read these glowing 4 and 5 star endorsements on Glassdoor and it doesn't seem to ring true with my experience and those of friends still at Sensient. I can't believe a review that the biggest "con" at Sensient is the dress code. Really??! It almost sounds like "canned" reviews from the Human Resources Department or a few "captive" employees. Hourly employees are treated poorly, never consulted and forced to work unplanned and last-minute overtime. Middle managers just try to keep their jobs and do whatever upper management tells them to do without concern for anybody else in the system. Upper managers at the divisions are always looking over their shoulder and worry about the next edict from Milwaukee. I got out and got a good job with a good company that actually respected me and I have never looked back

Pros

Customer focused mindset. A very flat organization which allows upper level management to be very involved and accessible. An entrepreneurial mindset that encourages creativity and new ideas. A diverse company with divisions in multiple different industries and facilities in many geographical locations which provides opportunity and room for growth.

Cons

Not many cons to mention. There are definitely some synergies that could be recognized by leveraging processes and learnings between business units / facilities but there is a plan in place to start addressing this.
