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.

Pros

Individual and team results are visible at the highest level, and rewarded. Those willing to role up their sleeves to ensure success will be successful. Promotional opportunities and career growth are plentiful Don't expect to delegate and sit back while others do the work. Those that work hard and take responsibility will be rewarded. While bonus plans are not as prevalent as other companies, this is typically made up in greater base pay.

Cons

Sometimes operates too lean for the expectations.
