      Pros

      Dow does a really good job about promoting work-life balance. Dow's compensation package is good in the area for technologists.

      Cons

      Uncertainty of the future. Dow also has the tendancy to cut jobs at the slightest provocation in the economy.

      Not the company that hired me 10 years ago.

      Pros

      The gulf coast sites are less formal and more laid-back than the Midland MI site. Safety and environmental issues are treated very seriously.

      Cons

      Compensation and benefits are average for a company of this size, but better than many smaller chemical companies. A 9/80 work schedule was only implemented after significant talent left the company. Dow Chemical is a follower, not a leader in compensation and benefits. Advancement is based primarily on politics and self-promotion rather than competencies. The bulk of job opportunities are managed outside of the official "JAS" system. As a production engineer, the work-life balance does not exist. The expectation is that you are available 24/7.
