Pros

Good work-life balance, pretty good non-financial benefits, cordial co-workers, strong company ethics, stable employment/job security

Cons

R&D salaries acknowledged to be slightly below industry average (and are working on addressing that), low employee turnover and so advancement opportunities (especially at higher tiers) are rare, relatively slow salary progression

Pros

work life balance, that is all folks

Cons

micro managing hire regional sales managers based on friendship and recommendation, not based on sales skills or sales background. most new hires now have relationships within corporate sales structure and cadence on sales force does not let you sell, instead lets you be more of a time and accounting employee make friends with in store reps, RSM acts on voice not actions

Pros

Behr Paint Company is a company that says “welcome to the family.” I have felt like a member of the Behr Paint family since day one. When I started with Behr, I was new to the paint industry, coming from the medical world. But the Behr culture promotes product knowledge by providing extensive, hands-on training, and the company has created valuable tools such as mobile apps and videos to make this information easily accessible. I have enjoyed this learning process, but even more important are the relationships I’ve built with a group of wonderful people throughout the company. The Architectural team I work with are a very talented group of people. Representing Behr, whose products are top-rated and sold internationally, has been a thrill. I especially enjoy participating in Construction Specifier Institute events and representing with the team at industry tradeshows around the country. In my two short years here at Behr, I have learned a great deal about paint, color theory, the specification process and the construction industry. I would encourage anybody looking for a career and a place to call home to check out Behr Paint Company.

Cons

None that come to mind.
