Pros
Safety is a priority. Most people are friendly. Work is easy enough, slightly repetitive. Mostly full time. Pay ok for area. Some possible advancement opportunities. Recently got a small PTO and get a yearly bonus if you work 1500 plus hours at 1% or 2% of your yearly wage.
Cons
Dow does not employ it's production or logistics workers. Work is through a temp service. No medical benefits. They have regular shutdown days at least once a month which you may have no hours for the day. They also either "ramp down" during the winter in which some people "go to the bench" (they may work to cover days off or call ins otherwise sit and wait for ramp up), or we have a lot of lost days during the slow times for all production workers because they do not have work for us. We are currently working 1 to 4 days a week now going on 5 weeks.
