Pros

The company provides a great opportunity for career growth, rewards top performers, and promotes continual improvement.

Cons

No significant cons, however this is a company that wants hard working, self motivated, results oriented individuals who are not afraid to challenge the status quo. If you are not interested in that, this is not the company for you.

5 years to get to top pay

Pros

Great place to work. Good benefits, pay is ok. Higher paying positions are offered to internal candidates first. Most operators and mechanics are easy to get along with.

Cons

5 years to top pay. HR manager needs to read policies before making decisions. Steps up in pay grade are supposed to be automatic.

Pros

Although a very "formal" environment, everybody is open, friendly and extremely professional. Every person employed by Sensient Colors seems to be an expert in their chosen profession from chemist to account manager. Communication seems to flow freely both up and down the chain...everybody knows exactly how the company is doing and which divisions are performing best....I found this to be refreshing.

Cons

I really don't know if it can be considered a con but I have seen it posted here regarding Sensient: In terms of culture, Sensient truly does expect the best out of its employees and does not accept "half-measures" or those not willing to give 100%. I guess it can be said best by saying that Sensient does not expect a contribution, it expects a commitment. Once you understand that and know that you must adapt to Sensient (Sensient will not adapt to you), you can have a stellar, highly rewarding career.
