      Horrible Place For Folks Over 50...and Creative People

      Customer business representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Large, stable company, good benefits (not the best, but above average), good spectrum of products. Upper management is good. Average to good training programs that have improved over the years. Good place to start a career, not finish.

      Cons

      Oppressive mid management in the ag sector. Lots of corporate bullying in ag sector. Regularly runs off workers over 55 by closing good territorys for "business reasons" which makes it harder to file discrimination suits. Lots of "lip service" on important issues that drag the company down. Micro manageing limits free thinkers and creativity. They are happy with being average and not the best in a competitive market place.

      Ok but not my forever job

      Security technology analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They gave me a job after I was laid off from my last job in April. My coworkers are helpful and the pay is decent. I worked at my previous company for 25 years so having friendly coworkers helps make the transition easier.

      Cons

      Company is huge and management doesn't have a clue as how to organize everything. I am a technology analyst and am good at what I do. However, at a new company you need some help to aclimate yourself to your new environment. Also the commute is brutal. While I live and work in NJ my commute is just way too far. I am learning there is very little chance of job advancement. I recently got my license in another area and I am currently working on my own business. Once it takes off I am moving on.

      BASF

      Field marketing
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Industry leader, decent pay and very good benefits, seem to genuinely care about employees. Senior management is very competent. Committed to quality and well respected in industry.

      Cons

      Very process and procedure oriented, sometimes introducing innovative ideas can be frustrating. Can be slow moving, market follower. People tend to stay a long time sometimes limiting career advancment.
