Pros

Can't even find one. Just not a great place to be if you have drive or eager to advance.

Cons

- Slow pace - Small work and activities - Bureaucracy and lack of innovative thinking. Only Dow ways matters, which leads to working with Dos based programs, spreadsheets and very simple tools. - Pay is very poor. -Morale is very low. -Dow is a master at offshoring. Cutting back on Canadian workforce to boost India's workforce so constantly laying off.

Pros

Some MNC culture here and there.

Cons

Your supervisor's whims & fancies decides your course of destiny in this company. All talks on Employee development is bogus Strong Favouritism Culture. Highly unprofessional way of working in some businesses.

Pros

Great pay and benefits. Good job rotation so you're not stuck doing repetitive work for an entire shift.

Cons

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.
