Pros

None. Company name looks good on your future resume?

Cons

Working at the former BASF Catalysts/Engelhard site is a dead end job. Smart employees try to leave as soon as possible to other locations. Turnover at offices and especially R&D is very high. Senior VPs joke why someone would accept an offer here as opposed to a normal outfit like Exxon or DuPont. Everyone below a 5.1 strata (include technicians) are grossly underpaid (by some 15-20k per year). Bonuses, though promised, are not fully delivered even prorated for your first year. Morale at site is terrible--management treats employees as second class citizens and without respect.

MDC WAREHOUSE

Pros

Very nice place to work if your one of the upper management employees. Job not to difficult but must be done correct at all times

Cons

management at the warehouse could be a little more professional when it comes to each employee instead we deal with favoritism on a daily basis. Office culture here at the warehouse does not exist except for a few privilege employees.
