Great Place To Work

Pros

I have been employed with the company for just over a year and I have found that most employees are very helpful and willing to point you in the right direction whenever you may have a question. I was looking for a challenge to help me grow professionally personally. I can honestly say that the company has lived up to my expectations. We view challenges as "opportunities" not "obstacles." If you are willing to work hard, take the initiative and be part of a progressive team; then Sensient Natural Ingredients is a great place to work.

Cons

Due to the nature of the business, the working environment can be very fast paced and expectations are very high.

Pros

1) BioNutrients division has excellent upper management - 90% right and always honest about failures and successes. Willing to take failures as "lessons learned" 2) Opportunities for individuals to have an impact on a growing business - production, quality, engineering, new product development/R&D, logistics and finance. 3) Held with high respect by other divisions of Sensient. Sensient is large, diverse flavors, colors, and fragrances company utilizing many technologies for many products. BioNutrients frequently gets tapped to "beta" new tools and processes. 4) Solid team that is blending the lessons learned in past years with new ways of doing business. Innovative, but not chaotic. 5) Corporate management provides necessary resources. Corp recognizes value of business unit and is willing to invest people, time, and money to helping the team succeed.

Cons

1) Has been difficult to grow professonally beyond a single manufacturing location to take on new responsibilities or new business units. This is slowly changing. 2) Manufacturing locations are a bit remote, often requiring 30-45 min commute from suburban areas.
