Pros

Maybe the pay was worth the short experience with the company

Cons

The people at Dow are very clickish. A very homogenized group of people. Very difficult to make it in the company if you are not grown from within. Disappointed at the culture of the company. I would describe as "uninviting" and cold. I worked on the resin side of the business, maybe that is why it is plastic-like.

Pros

Work atmosphere is good, great people to work with for the most part. Starting salary is competitive.

Cons

Yearly raises just match inflation. Also, if your work performance is good, expect less than a percent more than a coworker who did badly. Only a promotion, which is tough and rare, will give you a decent raise. Better to get experience, leave, come back years later in higher role for more pay.

Pros

Safe work environment, Good Benefits

Cons

Love to lay people off and shut plants down to keep corporate money. Not open and honest with employees. Hand jobs get you further then hard work!
