      Pros

      You gain a lot of experience really quick. VERY dynamic, the work is constantly changing.

      Cons

      -Management. -There aren’t any training standards. -Behavioral standards aren’t enforced. - People are constantly quitting so they’re constantly undermanned, forcing people to work crazy hours. - makes for some really disgruntled people. - The worst working environment I’ve ever seen or heard of.

      Pros

      -Managers that I have had actually take time to mentor me and help me develop my career goals. This probably not the case with all managers at the company. -Great benefits and good pay relative to the cost of living in Midland, MI -Opportunities to travel abroad -Interactions with people from all over the world on a daily basis

      Cons

      -Can take forever to complete simple tasks do to the many bureaucratic layers within the company. -Headquartered in Midland, MI with little to no opportunity to leave if you are in IT or IS type role

      Pros

      Safety is a priority. Most people are friendly. Work is easy enough, slightly repetitive. Mostly full time. Pay ok for area. Some possible advancement opportunities. Recently got a small PTO and get a yearly bonus if you work 1500 plus hours at 1% or 2% of your yearly wage.

      Cons

      Dow does not employ it's production or logistics workers. Work is through a temp service. No medical benefits. They have regular shutdown days at least once a month which you may have no hours for the day. They also either "ramp down" during the winter in which some people "go to the bench" (they may work to cover days off or call ins otherwise sit and wait for ramp up), or we have a lot of lost days during the slow times for all production workers because they do not have work for us. We are currently working 1 to 4 days a week now going on 5 weeks.
