Pros

Salary and flexibility. That's about it.

Cons

Layoffs. I was laid off after 7 years. All that was said that was my job was "eliminated". It turned out to be the best thing that has ever happened. I now work for a key competitor that is truley a first class organization that has a business plan for today, tomorrow, and the future. ICI has NO CLUE when it comes to selling and supplying paint to customers. Home Depot is their biggest customer with tons of opportunity, yet their sales are on a steady decline year after year. I was told by numerous HD upper management that the product was "dying on a vine". And they were absolutely right. All I can say is THANK YOU ICI.

Pros

Over all great place to work rates are competitive with in the area .

Cons

Don't feel like theirs any opportunity for growth.no recognition for hardworking employees. As a employee your feedback doesn't matter . have shared many ideas with management to make a better place and how to get things flowing better but my seems like employees input doesn't matter.
