Pros

Benefits are OK. Good 401K plan. Work-Life balance is not bad.

Cons

Legacy red (Sigma Aldrich) management operates as they did back in the 70s. This applies for both locations-Milwaukee and Sheboygan. Lack of communication. No long term planning and telling the team what they're trying to accomplish. No communication to employees on what's required to grow their potential to become a leader. There is no employee recognition, no opportunity for advancement. HR is not involved in anything. They are supposed to ensure maximum development of human resources , identify the needs of the individuals, and help the organization grow. They are not doing any of these!

Pros

Some managers were exceptional mentors and played a significant role in my professional growth. Good benefits and a reasonable severance package during workforce reductions. Opportunities to work on large-scale marketing initiatives and collaborate with experience professionals across the organization and globe.

Cons

Advancement opportunities often felt inconsistent and lacked any transparency. Leadership frequently emphasized data-driven decision making, but business decisions did not always appear to align with the metrics being presented. The company appeared hesitant to embrace emerging technologies and AI-driven approaches, limiting innovation in multiple areas. Job security is uncertain, and organizational changes occur frequently with little warning. Management quality varied significantly, While some leaders were outstanding, others struggled with communication, strategic direction, and people management. Career growth seemed to depend heavily on organizational politics and alignment with leadership rather than solely on measurable performance.
