Just another number
Sales Support Professional (Former Employee), Shakopee, MN – April 27, 2012
Pros: na
Cons: multitasking to the extreme, long hours and insignificant pay, being treated as a number
typical work day involved a combination of order entry, taking calls for phone que, logistics, production, distribution, and technical. Although the experience was somewhat brief it was a bit overwhelming for the pay involved.
Multitasking to utmost may be an undanderstatement and there were also some weeks where mandatortory overtime was enforced. – more... So due those factors I had no choice learning a great deal in a short amount of time.
Management at the time could have definitely used more guidance with their leadership roles and management practices in general.
Overall the people the group I worked with were great and I will really miss the lunches and the core of people for the department. – less

Had a terrible manager
App owner (Former Employee), NJ – April 23, 2012
Pros: i didn't see any
Cons: useless management and hr was a joke
I worked in one of the NJ facilities in IT. I was there for 18 months. I reported to a manager who was a micro manager. She was a control freak and made everyone's life miserable. Everyone knew about her, but no one did anything. It was degrading working for her.

Once the CIO called me to ask me if she and her boss were lying to him about the projects – more... under their control. I knew they were, but what could I say. I finally left the company and am now happy.

What a terrible experience and what a terrible manager to report to. – less

A strong German based company that has a tendency to be pro German in terms of long term advancement.
Senior Financial Analyst (Former Employee), Florham Park, NJ – April 17, 2012
Pros: successful company w/ long history
Cons: lack of advancement opportunities
When I was hired at BASF little did I know there would be a reorganization 8 months after my hire date. Had that been communicated to me in the interview process I clearly would not have pursued the position I took that was ultimately eliminated.

Nice work schedules but a little more $ would be nice
Manufacturing Technician (Current Employee), East Setauket, NY – April 2, 2012
Pros: 4 day work schedules
Cons: no overtime, so so salary
A nice bunch of people but some more money for a proven crew would be appropriate. Especially living on Long Island, you need a minimum of $50k to survive.

Pros: good work conditions
Cons: management is absent
Communication with management is absent, some of them have a second job, example, my ex superior is a real estate agent... it is now known within the company so co worker just dont care anymore, some others are doing the same taking advantage of the expense accounts, car, gas, time of the company to fulfill the other occupations, it is sad to see.
