Pros

The best reason to work here is to get your foot in the door for this industry. After leaving, recruiters from this industry flocked to me because they see Sensient as a sinking ship, but because of this they utilize their employees to their fullest till you are of no more use to them. Even if you are a producer as I was. However, being used in this way exposes you to so much more than what youd be doing at their competitors. Long story short, get in, take as much as you can from them, and get out.

Cons

The whole sales staff with the exception of 5 people across the entire company, have been laid off, quit, or fired, and my clients would tell me that is how things worked here from day 1. Horrible environment. The people below the executive level are top notch, but management is trash. I believe those in management wish they could do better, but they simply cant, and are holding things together with scotch tape and a phony disposition. Their CEO is not a strong leader, he inherited the company from his father and is running the business into the ground.

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.
