Pros

Only Pro is better companies to work for that value your skills. Alltech only uses you then lays you off.

Cons

I can 100% verify the other stories about the owner (Dr. Lyons) being a bully and disrespectful of his employees. I've 100% verify the stories about him pouring a non-alltech beer over an employees head as well as other stories where he had embarrassed employees in front of co-workers. He fashions himself like the Godfather, however most view him as a pathetic leader. I've heard that lately Dr Lyons is in poor heath so others are now in charge and it's a HUGE power play happening. With Dr. Lyons declining heath, company will implode. Please! DO NOT GO TO WORK FOR THEM! You will be sorry. Current management is inept and insensitive to employees and are so eager to grab power the reputation of Alltech in the local area is falling fast. The glory days are over for Alltech.

Pros

There are some good people that work there.

Cons

The company is mis-leading and very different behind the scene than on the surface. Operates like a cult. Potential employees beware of what you're getting into, and my advice is run the other way. Their mode of operation is to under pay employees and to prevent them from increasing their skills.

Pros

The new president is promising. Some of the individuals that work there are really nice and great at their jobs.

Cons

You will be punished for trying to fix problems. You will not get credit for your ideas, and depending on your role you are only there to make someone else look better. I do not recommend this company to young people it is not progressive and you will be continually frustrated by the lack of listening or new idea consideration by middle management.
