Pros

Worked at Deer Park site, former Rohm and Haas plant. Fast paced and chaotic atmosphere good for building troubleshooting skills. Not a boring place to be.

Cons

Knocked two stars off overall rating solely due to my experience at Deer Park. Almost 10 years after Dow bought out Rohm and Haas, Deer Park is still very far behind in implementing established Dow work processes. The most fundamental work processes are often questioned and/or ignored here. Younger employees or heritage Dow employees have a difficult and frustrating time working with the heritage Rohm and Haas employees. Rohm and Haas had a culture of changing parts to keep units running instead of trying to address root causes. I feel this site in particular is a sinking ship and that Dow may choose to sell or close the plant down in the future. There is also an awful lot of gossip and childish behavior at this site. I have worked at several other Dow sites across the USA and have never experienced such pettiness among adults.
