Pros
Above average pay for corporate employer. Decent benefits. Reasonably flexible time off as needed for vacation and time off for family reasons.
Cons
Limited upward mobility, completely incompetent upper management, discriminatory pay and promotion practices (blatant reverse discrimination). Poor recognition outside the standard pay program. Arrogant management whose value on the open market would be half of what it is in other big cities. A huge premium given to years of Dow service years vs. diversity of thinking and other experiences. Advanced degrees required for some positions but way under represented in upper management. Criteria for promotions and certain positions are secretive and not open. HR compensation package now heavily weighted to giving all bonuses and long term compensation to just top 5% vs. top 20% as before. Very strong performers have been left out and are therefore treated no different than average to poor performers.
