Pros

Little accountability from upper management gives you freedom to develop your business which is good and bad Lot's of employee engagement items and lunches

Cons

Process and accountability needs to be developed. Because the chemical industry is very profitable you can make mistakes and still do well Merits are down and bonuses are delayed for 2016

Pros

Very nice place to work if your one of the upper management employees. Job not to difficult but must be done correct at all times

Cons

management at the warehouse could be a little more professional when it comes to each employee instead we deal with favoritism on a daily basis. Office culture here at the warehouse does not exist except for a few privilege employees.

Pros

Large company with deep pockets, lots of job opportunities and lots of opportunities for all kinds of professional development. Upper management, ie, director level and above are excellent. Very very well managed company.

Cons

If you weren't a PDP they don't care to train you on the BASF way. They are slow to move in the direction of anything positive, like giving their employees 9/80's but very fast to take things away, like merit raises, vacation carryover, etc... They care more about the shareholders than they do about their own employees. Salaries are average to below average and they expect long hours and 24/7 dedication. Performance review process is horrible and HR refuses to change it. Middle management is terrible and upper management does nothing about it. Their "inclusion" policy is likely discrimination because it stipulates that they will promote women and minorities over others. Things move extremely slow and there is so much red tape and bureaucracy it's pathetic. The company thinks they are a high performance organization but they really just foster a culture of mediocrity because the high performers get sick of having to do everyone else's work and leave for higher pay and recognition. Spend billions acquiring a new company while they are shafting their current employees who are expected to just suck it up and be happy to have a job.
