Pros
Benefits are great, AFO is great. There are many opportunities to pursue growth development, depending on where you work in Dow the hands on training is good.
Cons
Again, depending on who you work for reflects how much "flexibility" you are offered. I reported to a micro manager. This was difficult for me as I had come from an independent work situation in a corporate environment, and then went to a blue collar manufacturing environment. Additionally, some of the op's carried unusually large work loads. Keep in mind that once you take a permanent job with Dow Chemical, you are stuck at that job for three years before you can bid out. That is a long time if you are not satisfied in your position. The work life balance did not apply to my position, (all depends on who you report to) and I also feel like the salaries are on the low side
