Behr Paint Company reviews

• The marketing department consistently ranks as the most unhappy and miserable department in the company and nothing is done other than a general sentiment of 'glad it's not us!' • HR department does little to address issues but plenty to limit liability • New CMO believes in outsourcing everything, leaving the graphic design department, color marketing, and marketing departments with only miscellaneous housekeeping tasks and menial projects • Chances are you'll be hired as a temp and they make sure you stay that way for months and even years, always saying that there is no budget to hire you full time as they pump millions into advertising agencies per year • Definite "old boys club" of older white male execs who 'have been doing it this way for years, why change now?' • Sales slipping majorly, even on new 'innovative' products • Departments constantly at major odds with each other, tons of ill feelings and resentment and a constant state of personal warfare • Execs are often unresponsive on all matters except those directly related to sales numbers and gallons sold • You'll be hired for your revolutionary ideas but chastised and abused for speaking about them for fear of 'upsetting' others/managers • Hiring brand new people into senior-level positions rather than promoting from within is throwing the company culture into disarray

Poor leadership that does not value people. Blame the sales team for everything. Poor communication from the top down, and constantly changing direction. Company has a “good ole boy” culture where the most qualified candidates are rarely chosen for positions. Leadership does not stand up for their people. Behr is basically run by Home Depot. If they want something Behr does it. This includes who they hire and let go. One channel of distribution makes it difficult to sell to pro painters due to the worst service in the industry.
