Pros

Excellent experience. You will learn SAP, and you will control all of the production at one or more chemical plants. Very high level of responsibility.

Cons

Threat of outsourcing, low pay scale, limited upward mobility, management doesn't understand what the production scheduler does.

Pros

Global company with deep geographic reach. over 120 years old, so there is a lot of history. If you like small town living . . . Dow Chemical is the place for you.

Cons

Management by power and fear is the name of the game. The good, ole boys club is alive and well at Dow Chemical. Promotions go to who you know and what leader you are aligned to.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good opportunities, Compensation and benefits, good co-workers

Cons

politics rule, performance management system results in back stabbing and forcing good people into poor performance catagories with no mercy. People are scared to take risks, constant threat of downsizing and budget cuts, yet a new country club and hotel costing millions get approved. CEO is power hungry and doesnt really care about people.
