Pros
Salary, pension, medical benefits, smart co workers, helpful coworkers
Cons
Managers in roles way too long. After five years it's time to move on. Stagnant organizations, lacking diversity of thought by excluding external hires. lack of stimulating projects. Why so many Fellows who stay in their offices only answering to executive leaders.

Pros
Dow Chemical is a large company with significant corporate overhead and procedures in place. Dow is great for training programs, safety and health training and process control. This is a great company to begin a career and train. Dow is very active in promoting diversity and inclusion. Corporate headquarters are in Midland, MI, the location of a chemical plant so management is not isolated from any issues at the plant.
Cons
Dow is trying to turn itself into a specialty company and management believes it is on the right track with the purchase of Rohm and Haas. However, middle and lower management has not bought into this approach and with so few managers nowdays, a single manager has wide latitude when making decisions. Dow has many employees who have spent their whole career at Dow and many of these employees are just hanging around to get their retirement and medical benefits. Dow is pushing diversity and inclusion and white males are often overlooked for promotional opportunities.
