Pros

BASF is a huge company and has many different fields of expertise. The company does not like to layoff workers and will try to find employees a new job if for some reason a plant is shut down.

Cons

Best qualified employees within a plant not recognized. Management would rather take a chance on a lesser qualified person than promote a person who has already proven themselves in the same position. Many times different schedule surveys have been taken and no matter the results, managments still forces their schedule for employees to work while they still keep their comfy Mon. thru Fri. day shift. Employees home life is no concern of management. Instead of training able bodied employees you may be forced to work extra hours to keep the plant running. Hot and unbearable temps in the summer months, and management has no idea of what goes on outside their air conditioned offices. Most days in the summer they will not even come out of the air conditioned areas of the plant to tend to problems on the floor.

Heavy Favoritism

Pros

4 days on 4 days off

Cons

Never seen such favoritism in the workplace. Double standards galore! Advance based on diversity rather than skill. Biggest chemical company in the world, but pays less than everyone else!
