Pros

Pays for continuing education that could pertain to BASF, Great Health Insurance & 401K, Vacation time is also good

Cons

People that have tenure there with hardly any education have the same job and get paid more than college grads with Chemistry & Biology Bachelor's degree. They will pay for you to get an MBA but never give you the opportunity to get a business job or progress. The pay is not very good. Most of the lab techs with tenure have no common sense and even though you out perform them, you get no credit and they refuse to fire the lazy, uneducated lab techs that screw everything up and add no value.

No work life balance

Pros

Fortune 500 company, very big in term of revenue & employee.

Cons

Slow decision making. Corporate management only want to hear good news & regional management only presented the positive aspect even though the negative aspect is more. At the end, those presenter get promoted but execution/operation team will suffer. If thing did not workout, operation team to be blamed as incompetent.
