Great pay but no work life balance - Chemical Operator II Sensient Technologies Employee Review

Pros

Pay and benefits were very good. They try to match the hourly wages of other surrounding manufacturing plants. Great group of people to work with.

Cons

No work life balance. Management and supervisors don't care about you or what might be going on in your personal life. All the company cares about is production and making money. Safety is a joke. The company preaches a safety first environment but wont fix any safety issues until after someone gets hurt. Safety training is very lacking and the emergency response team is poorly trained. Overall poor work environment. Their are a lot of people that do not like their jobs but refuse to leave because of the good pay. The saying they have is "the company keeps you there with 'golden handcuffs'."

Pros

My job allows for me to creatively problem solve. Very competitive pay. Excellent work life balance.

Cons

The only con is the dress code. Dressing business professional to visit customers is no issue. But working day to day with colors in business professional dress can be messy.

Pros

There is a strong in-office culture with great people who are eager to help one another succeed. Business continues to boom with new developments and provides opportunities across a wide variety of roles for internal promotions. As a leader in the industry, it is easy to stand behind the products made at Sensient and allows for great confidence in what we create.

Cons

The company has a fairly strict policy on working in-office and enforces a business professional dress code, which can be limiting in daily flexibility but does provide strong guidelines for seperating work and personal life.
