Pros

There are some good people in the organization and they pay pretty well. Indianapolis was a good location for a headquarters, but no longer.

Cons

Awful Culture. In the three years I worked there I had six different supervisors due to constant turn over. I saw two group presidents terminated, two directors of engineering terminated and one quit, half a dozen general managers terminated, plant mangers with a typical lifespan of less than two years, etc.... The organization runs on constant fear of upsetting those in charge. Remaining locations after the Indy closure are not desirable for attracting and retaining quality employees.

Pros

Sensient has a history of offering higher than average salary to entice employees to work for the organization.

Cons

There is a full benefits pacage available but there is quite a bit of out of pocket costs for each employee

Pros

Great pay. Only scheduled to work 7 days out of a 14 day period.

Cons

Upper management thinks that employee/employer relationship is parasitic rather than symbiotic. Overtime is absolutely mandatory which may sound good, but when you spend over 100 hours in one week at work with no family interaction on a regular basis it takes a toll on your relationship.
