Pros

Sensient usually pays well BUT they do get their money from you in long hours, harassment and other work issues

Cons

I read these glowing 4 and 5 star endorsements on Glassdoor and it doesn't seem to ring true with my experience and those of friends still at Sensient. I can't believe a review that the biggest "con" at Sensient is the dress code. Really??! It almost sounds like "canned" reviews from the Human Resources Department or a few "captive" employees. Hourly employees are treated poorly, never consulted and forced to work unplanned and last-minute overtime. Middle managers just try to keep their jobs and do whatever upper management tells them to do without concern for anybody else in the system. Upper managers at the divisions are always looking over their shoulder and worry about the next edict from Milwaukee. I got out and got a good job with a good company that actually respected me and I have never looked back

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.
