Pros

Benefits, RhCap, 401K and somewhat competitive wages

Cons

Too many layers of leadership. Does not take into consideration the people down the chain that makes THEM the money and keeps the plants running. Corporate Greed is very visible on their decisions they make. Outsourcing to IBM has proven to be the worst decision yet at the cost of many jobs lost from US to India and horrible service from IBM.

Pros

Maybe the pay was worth the short experience with the company

Cons

The people at Dow are very clickish. A very homogenized group of people. Very difficult to make it in the company if you are not grown from within. Disappointed at the culture of the company. I would describe as "uninviting" and cold. I worked on the resin side of the business, maybe that is why it is plastic-like.

Pros

Work atmosphere is good, great people to work with for the most part. Starting salary is competitive.

Cons

Yearly raises just match inflation. Also, if your work performance is good, expect less than a percent more than a coworker who did badly. Only a promotion, which is tough and rare, will give you a decent raise. Better to get experience, leave, come back years later in higher role for more pay.
