Pros

Great pay and benefits for a local company. There are some real amazing leaders.

Cons

Dow is currently looking to terminate everyone they can "for cause". Uninvestigated & unsubstantiated complaint, too bad, you're fired. Toxic environment that promotes sabotage and backstabbing. No direction from management on where the company is headed. Dow protects bad employees by putting systems in place to limit high performers. Promotions are for people managers no longer want. Too much DEI being shoved down employee throats. "High fliers" are the ones who accept and promote liberal and progressive agenda. The average manager knows nothing about business and just go with the flow. The real change agents get targeted and removed. You have the normal Heather's who go around filing complaints on people for personal vendettas. HR protects this practice.
