      Pros

      Good place to really expand your technical skills. Plenty of opportunity to transfer to other areas and sites. Having experience at Dow on your resume carries a lot of weight.

      Cons

      There seems to be a very rigid class system. If you aren't in management, then you are reminded on a very frequent basis that you are replaceable. Layoffs are used as a threat to keep blue shirts in line. The safety programs tend to focus more on individual workers while larger safety issues are ignored if it costs a lot of money to remedy.

      Pros

      Flexible work schedule, good leadership, great training, take safety as a top priority

      Cons

      Too many work processes. Compensation for overtime during turnarounds doesn't exist. Finger pointing when things go wrong. Don't pay well enough for good engineers and designers, then wonder why projects have so many changes.
