Pros

Great flexability in work time, time off and breaks.

Cons

Contractors are taken advantage of. They are expected to do the exact same job as their Dow co-workers but, they are denied raises while they watch their peers receive bonuses and raises.

Pros

Good systems and processes. Good environment with a high emphasis on safe working. Still considered an industry leader despite difficult years and likely further cutbacks

Cons

Slow moving in a slow industry. Unlikely to remain competitive in its basic commodity business without access to low-cost feedstocks. Strategy in specialties not credible especially when it labels parts of its base chemicals businesses as specialty.
