      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pays for continuing education that could pertain to BASF, Great Health Insurance & 401K, Vacation time is also good

      Cons

      People that have tenure there with hardly any education have the same job and get paid more than college grads with Chemistry & Biology Bachelor's degree. They will pay for you to get an MBA but never give you the opportunity to get a business job or progress. The pay is not very good. Most of the lab techs with tenure have no common sense and even though you out perform them, you get no credit and they refuse to fire the lazy, uneducated lab techs that screw everything up and add no value.

      Pros

      Fortune 500 company, very big in term of revenue & employee.

      Cons

      Slow decision making. Corporate management only want to hear good news & regional management only presented the positive aspect even though the negative aspect is more. At the end, those presenter get promoted but execution/operation team will suffer. If thing did not workout, operation team to be blamed as incompetent.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Being such a large and diverse company, there are many opportunities and encouragement from management to advance. Good salary and very good benefits.

      Cons

      Can be very political, especially the higher up you go in the company. Good and bad managers just like every other company. Suggest do your homework and network to get a broad perspective for any particular job.
