Pros

It WAS a good company and that reputational inertia continues to be how many perceive it. CEO is neither George Todd nor Scott Nykaza.

Cons

Major management change in 2022. New leaders totally destroyed key positive culture. Things turned cold almost overnight. Most reviews about a family business culture are no longer valid. It's now cold and reflected in employee treatment. Low trust environment. There are facts of what I heard happened to others and personal experiences I wish I could share here. I do not think Kalsec's founder, George Todd, would be proud of the state the company is in and how it is run, to put it very kindly. Be sure to keep savings handy. You cannot be sure if your loyalty will be reciprocated financially.

Pros

Interesting company, lots of good experience learning about the field of packaged food flavors and colors. Had a family feel.

Cons

Conflicts with middle management were not properly addressed. Retaining workers with seniority was more important than the actual competence of those workers.
