Dow Employer Reviews

Dow is a great chemical company that makes a lot of good products. Dow can be a fun and productive worplace, depending on department and particular position, just like any other large corporation (for the last 12 years it was great there for me; but nothing is forever). Often, things aren't well-controlled, optimized, and a bit chaotic; often, business – more... decisions are made without deep thinking about long-term future, despite the claims of the management about great "vision & values". Overall, Dow is definitely a good company to work for; but one has to be realistic about expectations. – less

OK place in general. Has pros and cons. ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I have learned a great deal about finance as it relates to a customer's risk versus reward for Dow - analyzing a company's financials to determine the credit line Dow can support for that customer. Unfortunately, I do not have a heavy enough workload and seem to have too much down time.

Culturally strong, proud, and puts great needed emphasis on safety. Management supportive and encourages autonomy of employees. Definitely a great place to understand the chemical industry.

It is a great place to work, safety is always first. I have learned a alot working with company, including SAP DIBS and GEMTS.

Great Company To work for, cooperation between others is valued as well as personal accoutability.

Great benefits, good pay, good hours,
Location is a good place to raise a family

Good overall company regarding salary and benefits. Independence through knowledge and efficiency. Too many liberal policies.

This job was very serious. There was heavy lifting involved and this was the most labor intensive unit at the entire facility. I had to offload railcars and tank trucks and follow procedure to the letter. Following proceducre and rules was extremely important because 1 missed step could really result in loss of life and limb.

About 12 to 16 hours per day. Company worries too much about shareholders. Cuts too lean when economy is bad but doesn't expect a drop off in productivity.

Working at Dow has changed the way I think and how I work about doing different tasks everyday. The people I work with are helpful and are always willing to listen to concerns you may have. Theres plenty of room for advancement in different carrer oppurtunties within The Dow Chemical Company.

I worked for Dow for only a few months. Swing shift became unbearable to balance with visitation with my daughter. Also very long hours for minimal pay and no benefits.

Best part of the job is the high quality of people with their can do attitude. Change is almost an everyday occurance and the culture is such that they are easily accepted. Large amount of diversity and career backgrounds makes it an interesting and fun place to work.

Handing out wotk assignments making sure task gets done in a safe and timely manner. Enjoy working with others,

I have learned tons of benefical trades that will carry with me. Management was more that effective. Dow is a great place to work, it's fun and they have taken all steps to ensure it is the safest chemical plant around.

Good for people who like to work for big corporations. Impersonal from the upper management side and political like any big corporation. Raises based on who sucked up to the boss more and not strictly on merit, as it should be.

My typical work at Dow as to review logbook as soon as I got there. Read and reply to any email that needed attention. Did Chlorine and ground inspections of entire block. Updated logbook with any findings and repairs to equipment that needed to be made. Put in work orders for any equipment that needed to be put out of service. Cleared and tagged out – more... that equipment for repairs.

Everything we did was a team effort and we all contributed to running the plant safely and producing product within specs. It is a great team. Supervisor always made sure we had all the tools necessary for any job and had freedoms to order those as we required them.

hardest part of the job was when it was time to go home. it was a fun atmosphere and we kept everyone involved with the everyday activities. Also, some supervision micro managed every employee, which slowed some processes down. – less
