BASF Process Development Associate reviews

ridiculous fire retardant uniform that you wear in the summer good ole boy system for moving up management is retarded preach safety in a death trap of a plant upper management is saving every penny to retire with reward whistle blowers pinning you against coworkers

Pension, retirement health insurance and stock purchase program were all taken from employees while the corporation was making record profits. The mid and senior leadership is spiteful, dishonest and vindictive. The culture is toxic and one of the running jokes in Port Arthur is that management hates us. There are no plans to spend capital on anything of substance at the site. There is minimal training and blind loyalty is considered more important than ability, talent and knowledge. Targeting and bullying are common tactics by senior operations management. Fear and intimidation are the common drivers to keep employees in line. There is no voice for hourly technicians. Very little interaction is given by senior management and feedback is not appreciated, nor acted upon. Gift cards are given to contractors by management when an operator is caught making a mistake. This is a policy promoted by operations and maintenance senior leadership. The distrust and level of animosity has become unhealthy.
