Pros

Company markets itself well to employees initially. The campus is beautiful, and the company does a good job selling itself to employees by offering good benefits. This is an okay company to get first job experience, however not at all a company that you can settle into a career with.

Cons

I had a terrible experience here. I was basically forced to move locations twice without receiving any compensation. The work/life balance is terrible. The company culture expects you to work until the job is finished. Do not go into this job anticipating that the additional effort will be rewarded or appreciated, but rather expected. The benefits are nice, however the pay is a joke. Alltech expects that you should be appreciative that you have a job, and if you don't like that, the attitude is "move on, go work elsewhere". Upper management is not well organized or transparent. The company turnover has be one of the highest in the state for a company this size. The overall turnover is a direct result from poor compensation, lack of career growth, and mistreatment of employees. The company is the perfect definition of the "peter principle", it grew too fast without developing the proper infrastructure for success. The owner appears to be very charismatic at first, but after working for a few years, you realize he only cares about the bottom line. I very much feel like the entire product line and company is a scam, and at some point this will be exposed and eventually another company will claim the current market share that Alltech holds.

Pros

- lots of autonomy - fast paced - interesting global network - down to earth CEO - I personally love the culture

Cons

Culture can be overwhelming for some people. There are high expectations to perform and also fit in. Some of the old guard do not want to change with newer management ( but seems to be working itself out)

Pros

Always something to repair or maintain. Supervisors are understanding of family or personal needs. Great coworkers.

Cons

Breakdown in communication between departments. High level employees have no idea how hard the production employees work.
