      Declining benefits give employees more reason to look for jobs elsewhere.

      Pros

      Large, well known company. Working with a diverse workforce.

      Cons

      Bad decision making by managers. Benefits are not inline with other companies of this size in our region. When pension was frozen/ended, only a certain group (10 yrs service, XX yrs or older) received any makeup in the new retirement plan (5% for 5 years). This sent a bad message to employees who may have had the years of service but were a little younger than required by the plan.

      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.
