Pros

Full pay after 6 months, double time on scheduled off weekends, nice 401k match.

Cons

No way to advance through work ethic or performance. Have to be in the pocket of management and have grown up with everyone. If not from around here you will always only be a shiftworker. They will not give you any opportunity to better yourself and climb higher if not a local boy or girl. Union is non existent. Top USW reps only show up to make sure people keep signing up and at contract time and then still give away benefits.

Dear colleague, Thank you very much for your comment and the time you took for the review. Since we live an open feedback culture at our #BASFHubBerlin, we are always happy about praise and criticism of any kind. We are very pleased that you appreciate our hybrid working models. Because of the flexibility and mobility, every employee can shape his or her own personal work-life balance. This is a very important aspect for us! We are aware that we are not perfect – which is why we are continuously working on optimisation potential, such as new adjustments to the collective agreement. We are therefore very proud that we were able to achieve a tariff increase of a total of 6,5 %! The first half will be adjusted on 01.01.2023 and the second half on 01.01.2024. Furthermore, it was decided that we will make full use of the possibility of paying the tax-free inflation money of 3.000,00 €. This amount is also paid out in two parts - the first part reached our employees already in December. In addition to the basic salary, our employees also receive a variable remuneration each year, which is also measured by their individual performance. If you have any further suggestions, you are welcome to contact us personally at any time. Of course, we treat your data anonymously. Best wishes, Mareike G. – Local HR Berlin #TeamBASF

Dear colleague, Thank you very much for your feedback! We are very pleased that you appreciate the international environment at our #BASFHubBerlin. As an intercultural service hub, diversity is particularly important to us. Our flexible and mobile working models allow everyone to actively shape their daily work. This allows everyone an individual work-life balance. However, if you feel overwhelmed by your workload, it's important to approach your manager proactively. We are sure that you will find a solution together! With regard to our remuneration, we are bound by a collective agreement. However, we are continuously working on optimising this and are keeping an eye on upcoming bargaining. Recently we were able to achieve a tariff increase of a total 6,5 %! The first half will be adjusted on 01.01.2023 and the second half on 01.01.2024. In addition, it was decided that we will make full use of the possibility of paying the tax-free inflation money of 3.000,00 €. This amount is also paid out in two parts - the first part reached our employees already in December. Furthermore, we have created a large number of other monetary incentives in the past, as well as intangible benefits, which are highly valued by our colleagues. Our advantages include, for example, performance-related bonus payments, a variety of training opportunities, annual company parties and a modern working culture. We would be happy if you would contact us personally with further suggestions and ideas! Of course, we treat your data anonymously. Warm regards, Mareike G. – Local HR Berlin #TeamBASF
