Pros
Tate & Lyle Ingredients Americas is a great place to work if wish to get ahead by playing golf, because it appears that is how the management network is set up. The work isn't hard. People in the finance department are generally nice. Most are just as frustrated with upper management as I am.
Cons
Work life balance is terrible. Good luck getting time off for family emergencies. Management has come out and stated that employee morale is not a priority. The company is a in a volatile state. Not sure if shared services such as finance will stay in Decatur or whether it will be moved to Chicago in future. There is a wide gap between how British employees and American employees are treated. It is almost like TLIA is a colony. The cafeteria stinks in Decatur, while the cafeteria in Sugar Quay (London) is amazing. The parent company receives five weeks of vacation. US receives two weeks which is somewhat standard.
