Pros

good initial pay. Dow is well known

Cons

Does not recognise unions. This leaves employees exposed to individual manages taking advantage. Yearly pay rise and bonus are subject to managers discretion therefore if the manager does not like you it does not matter how hard you work or how much you know he will give you a small pay rise and give people he likes a bigger one.This will result n your wages going down with time. Management consistently bully, lie and manipulate in order to achieve targets that will get them a good pay rise and good bonus. Dow is paranoid about being sued so whenever anything goes wrong Dow does not take responsibility so it blames individuals even if the individual is following Best Practices. Dow management has no respect for employees although they have plenty of literature saying they do.
