Pros

Good place to really expand your technical skills. Plenty of opportunity to transfer to other areas and sites. Having experience at Dow on your resume carries a lot of weight.

Cons

There seems to be a very rigid class system. If you aren't in management, then you are reminded on a very frequent basis that you are replaceable. Layoffs are used as a threat to keep blue shirts in line. The safety programs tend to focus more on individual workers while larger safety issues are ignored if it costs a lot of money to remedy.
