Pros

Good salary (in some locations depending on Plant Manager)

Cons

- They have almost no corporate direction. Everything is done on the fly. The corporate "direction" changes faster than the wind and you are left spending hours and hours gathering information or completing projects that never get utilized or even looked at. - They subtract Long Term Disability directly from your pay cheque as a "plant-wide" deduction which, if added up for the whole year is approximately 2 weeks of after-tax pay. In my case it was $95.09 deducted per pay cheque. - There are no official personal sick days for illness or a child's illness - you are either deducted pay or use your vacation days.

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.
