Dow Project Manager/Manufacturing Representative reviews

Employees that don't do any work get paid more than those that do. Recognition program is just a popularity contest. You only get 2 holidays off a year, and it's a dice roll as to which two. There are no excused weather days, you must use vacation if it snows 12 inches. Seems kind of strange for a company that is supposedly so focused on safety. I guess they only want you safe while you're there, you must be reckless in order to get there. If you decide to leave the company, and do it the right way, you still have zero chance of getting rehired, it's the policy. If you do leave, they will do everything they can to see that you never get another job anywhere.

Inability to develop younger talent. Little to no effective training. Younger engineers are expected to sink or swim and are not really given mentor-ship or leadership. You will have to mope around the plant trying to scrounge up your own projects before finally getting assigned a process. You'll mostly fail, because plant engineers are to overworked to try to help you out. Once you get that process, you'll drown in nonsense for months until you finally barely figure it out due to a lack of documentation and experience. opportunities for advancement did not really exist before the merger, after is hard to say. 9/80's now gone as well.
