Pros

Great employees who like each other and try to help and look out for each other

Cons

Management has their own agenda, make money at all cost. Do not care about employees. If management is questioned about something or put in an awkward position or called out they get mad and fire employee. Moral of working employees low.

Pros

Great potential to learn and grow, if management was on your side This review is strictly for the Philadelphia office as I am aware that all of Dow Chemical does not operate the same way.

Cons

I've heard very good things about management in Midland, MI. How they mentor you and train and help you succeed and I've seen it happen. The Philly office is quite the contrary. I was interviewed and brought in for a specific role, once I got on board, I was put into a totally different role in which I did not have enough experience. As I was willing to work with them, requests to management for training always ended with me contacting other colleagues who were overworked themselves and did not have time. Needless to say I was put in a position to fail and fail I did. The Philadelphia office is filled with ex Rhom & Haas employees who are very snobby, think they know it all and very unwilling to help a colleague.
