Pros

Benefits Co-workers are generally good to work

Cons

Management gives preferential treatment to certain employees for promotions. Management historically cuts costs to profitability rather grow revenues Stock price has been stagnant for past 10 years Job role inequalities. a lot of roles have much more responsibility but pointed less. Good ol boys club in management needs to change style. Locations are not very desirable.

Pros

The pay is a little better than some companies. There are some honest managers that will help you through your adventure. A great place to learn the downfalls of diversity. This company will teach you about the so call values of the south. This location is the only location does not reflect Dow Chemical as a whole. I think Dow Company has work hard to gain the respect that the company has work hard for.

Cons

This company does not represent Dow Chemical company outlook. This is still the old Union Carbide company. They will layoff an experienced worker to keep family friends and for favors. This company is not very diverse. They must have bad management, because they always cutting due to budget. I will say others never experience this type of activities at a real Dow company. This location will never change. Dow Chemical needs to re-organize this site.
