Pros

The company is one of the largest coatings companies in the world, so we all know that it isn't going to disappear one morning and leave us with no jobs. They are prepared to train their employees from the ground up.

Cons

There is a total lack of communication between corporate headquarters and the field when it comes to expectations and how to reach them. The pay is not commensurate with the work put in. The company more than doubled the size of their architectural business three years ago and still has not put in place a plan which will allow them to move past the struggles of taking over a separate large company within the same industry.

Pros

- Education benefits (but access/support depends on your manager) - Flexible workplace (work hours/wfh) - Diverse workforce.

Cons

- Does not support employee promotions. Very difficult to get promoted if you are not an engineer. - Low pay, salary increases depend on manager. For the past couple years, most employees did not even receive adjustment for inflation. - Constantly loses top talent because management is unwilling to invest to keep good employees.
