      Good place to learn, takes a while to get things done

      Pros

      Excellent appreciation for work-life balance. No micro management. Culture of respect and trust. Leaders are understanding of the learning curve and aren't too pushy. Benefits and retirement contributions are OK but don't compare well with oil and gas industry.

      Cons

      It takes a very long time to get things done at Dow. If you are coming from another company, prepare yourself for a beating over the head with lengthy, detailed work processes. No vision incurance (for me at least). Many people are also critical of the forced ranking system for performance reviews/bonuses. Althought the lack of micromanagement is a pro, you also may only have the opporutnity to meet your direct leader a handful of times face-to-face.

      Pros

      Dow really encourages you to learn more about your job and challenges you in a positive way to improve or explore other projects within the company.Everyone gets to participate in matters of safety or finding new ways to increase quality.

      Cons

      I wish that senior management would come to production floor more often during the night shifts.On the occasion when one does take the time to do so i find that it motivates everyone just to have a minute or so conversation.You can feel a little fogotten on 3rd shift.It seems like first shift gets all the attention sometimes.
