      Business outlook

      Pros

      Mid and Lower level employees were great to work with. Good insurance. Reasonable working hours. Vacation time started at 2 weeks, and topped out at 4 weeks per year.

      Cons

      Industry has limited growth potential. Low public recognition limits public's view of the industry's contribution to food sector. Upper management is lacking in ability.

      Great company to work for, but CYA!

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Great compensation and yearly bonuses. Friendly atmosphere with brilliant employees. Fun holiday events to keep up morale. Excellent communication and cooperation amongst teams at company's satellites (Cyvex/NUTrition, Inconn, Wisconsin Specialty Protein). Stability - this company has been around for over a century and has been growing rapidly over the last decade into a diverse corporation compared to the fishing company it started out as.

      Cons

      Managment runs the research satellites like businesses rather than scientific labs. Profitability and time from bench to market is more important than exploring alternative formulations and methods to ensure the healthiest and most effective product goes to market. Safety is a low priority. One facility was originally drafted to have power supplies in the center of the pilot lab, wires were run, but outlets and breakers were never installed. Lab users had extension cords running all across the floor as a result of unfinished construction. Chemical cabinet ventilation system was never installed and explosively reactive chemicals were stored on the same shelf in the same cabinet. Nitric and sulfuric acids right next to toluene, and strong oxidizers next to fuels such as kerosene.
