Wow, the opportunity to work on such unique projects at Dow Chemical as a Chemical Engineer sounds incredible—can you share more about the support you received during that intricate flare design project?

I work shift work since February 1987 to October 23. met lots of nice people, and learned a lot of things from them and taught others also .

Pros and Cons
During shutdowns, we got free meals all the time
Shiftwork for as many years as I did was not healthy, so I retired last year

I worked at Dow ten years. I was happy working there. I went through a divorce. I missed a great deal of work going to and from court. In the process of that, my hours worked were being automatically installed for my standard work week. I informed my supervisor of this, corrections were made to my time sheet; everything seemed fine. This divorce drug out for over two years. I was informed by my supervisor, that I had possibly been paid for time not worked. I informed my supervisor that if there's a discrepancy, please take it from my vacation, or deduct it from my next check. I was told that it doesn't work that way. That there would have to be an investigation to see if there really was a mistake. I was also told that I was still employed, but I would be off work without pay, pending the investigation. This investigation went on for over a year. So I took another job as Service Manager at Brookside Equipment for John Deer. The investigation never ended. I had to work.

Pros and Cons
Competitive wages, stock options, good benefits
Never knowing the outcome of the investigation regarding me?

Was an apprentice Electrical/ Instrumentation tech for almost 3 years. Dow payed for school and got me in the industry which I’m thankful for. But the working environment was terrible. Great training but no long term future

Pros and Cons
Payed for school
Low wages and no recognition

Unceremoniously dismissed from the workforce along with 5,000 others when the economy tanked. They never re-hire previous employees.

Pros and Cons
Very few pros. No real future.
Terrible attitude towards the people that matter.
