Pros

There are no pros to working at sensient. The industry, however, is very interesting.

Cons

Expect to work ridiculous hours, and to be available on your few vacation days. Pto and pay are not at industry standard. 95% of positions are not bonus elligible. Hard work is not rewarded. Expect to be micromanaged. Most managers talk out of both sides of their mouth. Atmosphere is stuffy, you will be forced to wear a suit everyday, and there is no casual anything. No advancement opoortunities. All the other negative reviews are true. Stay away!! If I could give 0 stars I would.

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.
