Sensient Technologies Corporation

There really were no typical days, One day of the week was dedicated to taking environmental swabs throughout the plant, preparing and plating the swabs, maintaining the records on the results. This was all geared to developing a cost effective environmental monitoring program. I wrote sanitation plans, investigated and approved new ingredients and suppliers. I probably learned more about sanitation and environmental bacteria and organisms than at any other work place. Management, plant level were easy to get along with - I felt Like I was working with them not for them. Co-workers were "bad" enough to be interesting and good enough that I considered them friends. The hardest part of the job was having my title changed 4 times in 2 years, and trying to make a corporate management team with no food safety background, understand the concept of risk. The most enjoyable part of the job was the problem solving part of the job.

Typical day at work: Sensient has fast-paced environment, requires accuracy in details, beginning from processing the orders, shipping, down to invoicing. Other challenges include clients' special delivery and handling requests, issues on billing/invoicing, stock replenishment issues, inventory control, importations, customs and brokerage issues, Quality Control documentations issues and specifications, accounts payable/accounts receivable issues, and month-end / year end reconciliation issues.

Management has entrusted me with such huge duties and obligations which I have learned in due time. I would say that working with Sensient became enjoyable because all of its team members are cooperative and supportive.

Was lured in through deception.. from title, wages and benefits misinformation. Power enginners learned by shadowing labourer, qualified 4th class lead hand just pair up new employee with who ever is doing something. After a while new employee just get ignored by management's. If taking advantage of newly grad is a crime.. this place won't last long.. Power engineers you deserve better...

I would typically spend the day performing or analysing my experiments, whilst helping out within the QC lab during my free time. I improved my knowledge of organic chemistry and workplace safety. However most notably I gained practical and analytical lab skills including a creative approach to problem solving.

start with checking the work thats in progress                                     what is the next set  up and how to prepare for the next  batch         
report to management
very good interaction and cooperation
when  there is nothing thats been prepared for the next batch
when the work crew get  together

A really slow paced environment. As a power engineer you wouldn’t learn anything related to the field, everything taught is new and most of the work is labour. Lack of training provided, Training is done by shadowing labourers and neglected by management.

my typical work was dealing with raw and dry products .Making sure that they were safe for processing .also helping other people in the plant in production and warehouse .

We had a good team at Sensient Flavors Canada, but unfortunately they closed us down a few years ago as a result of many things. It was a good place overall.

Definitely lacking maintenance culture, company has very odd hiring process. Not very transparent about things such as benefits.  Pay is okay though.
