Pros

Best overall Benefit package!! Great work life balance with a leadership team that fosters a culture of trust and continual improvement. Sensient respects it's employees by giving them the support and opportunity to advance within the company. Senior Management Cares - provides the necessary tools to ensure our products are the best!

Cons

People never leave :) High morale and great work environment leads to people staying in positions too long which isn't an issue at the present, but could become an issue if all this wisdom decides to retire all at once!

Pros

good perks if your related to them at top

Cons

Only chance of promotion is if your name is manning, company run by toxic management. Turnover is so high that HR management can't cope with it all. Don't even consider this company unless you are really desperate ! Everyone I know is leaving or very near to leaving. Run away while you can.

Pros

My coworkers were wonderful people, and Sensient has a couple more holidays than most companies. There is a lot of money to be made in this industry, so the company has been doing well to spite itself.

Cons

Sensient is run by fear and intimidation. Upper management is unapproachable and lower management is so scared of upper management they will sacrifice anyone below them to keep their own job. My manager told me he didn't want to manage and just wants to be left alone. How's that for a closed door policy? Too much of the management has worked there for 20 plus years and are just waiting to retire. No leadership, no ethic, no values.
