Pros

Excellent experience. You will learn SAP, and you will control all of the production at one or more chemical plants. Very high level of responsibility.

Cons

Threat of outsourcing, low pay scale, limited upward mobility, management doesn't understand what the production scheduler does.

Pros

* Excellent work environment (people) *Relatively flexible (depends on who you report to) *Good pay

Cons

* As others have stated there is a "its who you know, not what you know" mentality. However I feel some postings have overstressed this and the comment on Dow being a "global matrix and network" is more accurate. It is a large company networking is expected.
