      Pros

      BASF is a great company to work for. The work family balance has improved significantly over the years. Also working with such exceptional colleagues, makes the experience even more enjoyable. I hope to have many more years contributing to the success of BASF.

      Cons

      A few departments (certainly not all) have a difficult 'team' environment. Making it a more competitive environment than things should be, esp. within a team. True entrepreneurial and collaborative behavior includes absolute teamwork, support, flexibility and work integrity, in my opinion. Statements like "that is not your job" or "make sure you cover yourself", shouldn't ever need to be heard.

      Pros

      Unlimited overtime, good overall atmosphere, flexible schedule. Work as much as you wants, as long as you hit 40 hours

      Cons

      The automotive coatings division was going through a rough period when I started here. The company was still recovering from the market crash in 2008, so there were still layoffs happening and (understandably) disgruntled employees. There was no room for advancement and no chance to get hired on as a direct employee, although this has changed now I think. I was laid off for 3 months, but was hired back.

      Pros

      Learn alot. They take it slow. Excellent training for those who are just starting in a production plant.

      Cons

      Labor intense plant where I work. The block is big and there are a lot of equipment to learn. You have a 3 yr training program but probably need 5 yrs to become comfortable in my block.
