BASF Employer Reviews

nothing at the workplace is hard to do, but it does take time to learn the different procedures for each job.

My first shift job. Started as straight shift fitter(mechanic) Got to learn plant quickly as it was easy SCADA which made fault finding easy. MCC3 and MCC4 catalyst coating machines are priority. Later on we installed a MCC6 coating machine along with CSF lines. Our management could focus a little better on our production side and also on maintenance, – more... but as a fairly new plant we strive to get to our goals.

There isn't hard work here, but its best you focus properly when working on equipment. These machinery can be delicate and its best to know how it operates before trying to repair it.

Most enjoyable part must be the satisfaction of knowing how to repair these machines. – less

I would work the claims that i had for that day and check on the Coops and other Ag businesses.

Worked as a contractor with many if not more responsibilities than some full time employees but was not able to get hired. Great atmosphere to work within as many of the managers allow their employees to handle their responsibilities without micro-managing. During my time working here there were many projects which I was responsible for and always received – more... credit from my co-workers when reporting to management. – less

Varied work, both in the lab and out in the field. Great, science-driven products.

Worked directly with the truck drivers to achieve on time shipping.
Communicate verbally and in writing to answer inquiries and provide information.

Throughout the challenging work environment because of the merging into another business unit. I have learned the responsibilities and actions it takes to lead successful projects. I have assisted in the integration of utilizing SAP to plan for production.

A great place to work with many advancement opportunities for those who apply themselves.

We have no holiday pay, do not get any vacation time or sick days. We do not get raises. What you agree to in your interview is all you get no matter how long you work for them. I have learned how to adjust the color of paint by adding tint paste and pigment. I have learned how to adjust the viscosity of paint and primers. My mannager is almost never – more... at work. So I have gotten alot better at self supervising and finding things to keep me busy. I get along with my coworkers. The hardest part of my job is never getting to spend time with my kids because I am always at work. I cant think of a most enjoyable part pf my job. – less

Learned lot of things of how to work in a professional work environment.

For a giant company, BASF has excellent corporate values in a multitude of areas & really strives to live by them. Very nice facilities, good training, lots of good people at every level. Great benefits, great funding for projects & equipment.

Still, the corporation as a whole (and Ag Products as a division) seems to buy into every single stoopid management – more... fad or politically correct cause that comes down the pike, ESP. regarding performance reviews. "Dilbert" could've worked here & noticed little difference. Also, it's VERY difficult to get promoted or to switch groups b/c corporate HR policies are hyper-rigid.....all substantive changes occur w/o any real significant employee input (tho' management does go thru the motions), and change that does occur is about as quick as changing the direction of a fully-loaded barge.

Oddly, tho', they are very family-friendly & accommodating to familial issues as they arise. – less

Serious about doing a job safely in great time. Comply with OSHA rules along with local environmental rules. Team work, and setting up the job for the next crew.

Company as a whole was a wonderful place to work. I moved to Cailf.

I worked for BASF's Beauty Care Solutions group for almost two years before being laid off due to the company downsizing. Overall, it was a nice place to work. The manangement was very friendly and professional.

The hardest part of being the office assistant was not having any knowledge of chemicals and how to pronounce them. So it was difficult to – more... help customers who called asking questions about a certain chemical. – less

Management has a good understanding of how to get the most out of their employees.

BASF is an excellent company to work for. The people are nice and personable. The work/life balance is incredible

This job was challenging due to the fact that you never knew if machinery was going to break and you needed to fix/replace or bypass to another unit to keep the production moving.

Project support role for outsourcing the North America WAN/LAN infrastructure and implementing voip telephones to unifiy the entire organization.

As a maintenance team member, my day starts with an inspection of the equipment. I then perform preventative maintenance or repairs as needed.

I have learned quite a bit about fabrication, equipment repairs and installation.

The management and co-workers are all very helpful and knowledgeable.

The most enjoyable part of my job is learning new things. – more... There is always something new to learn. – less

I Loved this company.... There were benefits, advancement, and a very challenging work environment. if it wasnt for my wife taking a job in Georgia and we desciding to move to Georgia I beleive I would still be at this company.
