Tate & Lyle Ingredients – “Great for experience building, but not a career option”

Pros

I had full support to pursue an opportunity for professional growth when I found one. Management was understanding and flexible when personal time was needed. Experience was unique and useful in that I was given vital project work that was unusually advanced for my experience and education level.

Cons

Recognition for a job well done is almost non-existent. Supervisors in my area were micromanagers. Communication among business units is poor. Information needed for my project work was locked down in security measures to the point that I often "reinvented the wheel" on projects.

Advice to Senior Management

Communication has to be improved. Supervisors need to back off and show some trust towards employees that they are capable of doing their jobs. Recognize people when they complete a project and share the glory for accomplishments.
