Pros

Great opportunities to develop oneself if you're up for it. It is demanding. You are expected to know your job and contribute, so any person more passive in nature will probably not do well. Taking initiative is encouraged and any/every action is always results-driven. Development-wise, there are always opportunities to relocate, to move to different company divisions or to different departments within a division; on the other hand, if you are comfortable in a certain position you can grow your expertise there, as long as you continue to do what is expected of you. The company also has an ongoing High Potential Employee program. Core, non-negotiable values: 1) Be honest, 2) never compromise on quality, 3) behave and dress professionally.

Cons

There is an historical negative perception, in some cases with reason; however, having witnessed changes from within, I believe the company is heading in the right direction. There will always be things to improve. As results are expected, some people might feel intimidated, so that might be perceived as negative. I don't agree with that. If you're a high-performer you'll do well.

Best Place I Have Ever Worked!

Pros

Everyone that I work with is respectful, accountable and kind. This is the first place I have been where employees are treated with the utmost regard. Management goes out of there way to make sure you are happy and have everything you need to succeed. They spend a lot of time and effort on providing employees with the best benefits, opportunities, and motivations to make work enjoyable and help you achieve your professional goals. Management places a high value on properly training their employees to help ensure their success. One of the greatest features about working for Sensient is the opportunity to move around based on your interests and career aspirations. Many places do have the means or foresight to offer this.

Cons

Strict Dress Code - to me, this is not a con because I enjoy looking my best. For some, the business professional dress code might be an adjustment but completely worth it to be able to work with business professional people.
