      Pros

      Career Opportunities, they do an outstanding job of promoting from within. Dow has an outstanding employee development process, and uses a performance management process to determine top talent within the company. These process always employees to determine the level of success that they want to acheive within the company.

      Cons

      Dow does not truly care about the "human element" as much as they say. Senior management seems to only make decisions that benfit themselves the most. If Senior Management cared more about their current employees Dow would be an outstanding place to work.

      Should have gone else where while the going was good.

      Pros

      Dow is one of the companies that you can spend your whole career at a single site or not. It is up to you. Safety is very important to Dow. You will find plenty of safety project and environmental projects to do to keep you occupied.

      Cons

      Dow does not pay for performance. They have taken away all their competitive advantage on the gulf coast with the exception of a few. More work, less people. More EH&S requirements that only one site has to do while the other sites with a worse performance are required to do less.

      Dow Chemical is found to be an excellent place of employment.

      Pros

      There are many opportunities and places for advancement. Someone could move up the career ladder fairly quickly.

      Cons

      This is not the most stable of companies at this time. The economy, as it is, is creating excess hardships on all businesses, and Dow Chemical is quick to lay off employees to counter the rising costs of business.
