Pros

Their retirement plan was above average. Identify yourself with them correctly if you want to be fast tracked promoted. That was meant more as advice than a pro to whomever may read this. Job does pay well.

Cons

No work life balance. You will lose your own identity. Very unappreciative upper management. It’s a 24/7 job. The stress and pressure what it does to you over time. Unrealistic budget numbers. Looks great when they show ya the quarterly incentive plan. When you get your budget number 3 months into the year and you realize you have unattainable double digit budget numbers it’s a laugher. Oh yeah and If your having too good a year they can change your number. Great paying job to feed your family you’ll need someone else to raise them cause you’ll barely see them.

Pros

easy job with little work load and decent customer base

Cons

they cut my 401k for 6 months with no mention of when it was coming back, terrible CEO that everyone hated who cut jobs to save money for a new headquarter that we absolutely did NOT need, bought a random argentinian paint company to monopolize an already dying business and put the cost back onto the consumer by charging way more for paint. They also give discounts to national brands and apartment complexes that are literally less than what the store charges for paint and forces us to sell to them, losing money in the process ( for the individual stores but making them money since they own the whole manufacturing and distribution process and up-charge stores for products they require us to sell ). Overall climbing up the ladder is easy but upper management suck and will make any good hearted, hardworking manager quit in the long run.
