A Pretty Good Place to Work

Pros

Lots of opportunities if you apply yourself. The pay and benefits are good. Safety is a high priority. The culture in most plants is comfortable.

Cons

Most of the large locations in the US and their headquarters location, are not places you would prefer to live (Midland, MI; Freeport, TX, etc.). There are too many "Global Leader" level people, and most have no business being there. Majority of employees have no confidence in the CEO.

Pros

Benefits, vacation, personal development, ease of changing roles within company. Since Dow doesn't pay top notch, you'll rarely find a vampire in the company.

Cons

Average salary, promotes from within company, many many layers of work processes, locations for manufacturing. Every company has bad leaders it seems. Dow has its share.
