The only flavor Sensient specializes in is sour!

Pros

Compensation is ok, though raises aren't. Direct team members

Cons

No work life balance Management changes their mind on a dime Management is quick to throw you under the bus to suit their own needs Dog-Eat-Dog environment. Everyone is out for themselves Little opportunity for advancement, it's all about who is most liked and who will be the most compliant. Company-wide goals are extremely vague and left up almost entirely to managers interpretation Merit raises are way too low, you keep having more work piled on all year, only to be told you didn't meet your goals and receive a raise of less than 3% Be prepared to go home stressed out everyday, and do not expect to be rewarded for any hard work.

How not to treat your employee base

Pros

Salary/benefits and the average working folk. I was here for over a year. It started out ok but the longer I was there the more I say how little respect they have for their employee's. Like most people stated, no matter how good you did your job, they company did not care as they would would you out the door. They make up reasons like your job has been made redundant etc. Things were bad with Daddy war-bucks running the show but they are getting even worse with his son having taken over.

Cons

Everything but the pay/benefits and the people I worked with.
