      CBRE is not the answer

      Pros

      Dow has good retirement benefits, vacation, holidays, 401K

      Cons

      The company should not transfer its positions to contractors such as CBRE. CBRE works their people very hard and pays them very little. They will have 1 person do the work of 3 people. CBRE is equivalent to a glorified janitorial service. Also, the CBRE management is disorganized and they abuse their people, which in turn gives the customer (Dow) a bad name (as Dow has allowed contractors like CBRE to come in). Many people are wondering why Dow has allowed this to happen. In addition, Dow upper management should replace some of the Dow management that are not keeping a better eye on CBRE and what is really going on in Freeport and at the Houston Dow Center.

      Dow Chemical is OK

      Pros

      Smart People, challenging problems, and generally good resources for solving them. Many different things to work on and generally supportive of external conferences and publishing.

      Cons

      Politics and a bit of a lack of personal development. Too many work processes sometimes make getting things done more challenging than they need to be.

      Pros

      Good experience with onboarding and training college graduates in the corporate environment. Compensation is slightly above peers' in other companies

      Cons

      Development programs lock-in entry level employees for a minimum of seven years. Management positions not available until 'graduating' from the entry level development program.
