Great products but very poor management.

Pros

Devcon products are top notch. Permatex products very good. Friendly people but untrusting environment. ITW Benefits are solid.

Cons

Poor top management. Currently restructuring. Brands being destroyed. Cash Cow mentality. Sales Managers are wet behind the ears. Employees live in fear that their job will be gone at any moment.

Pros

The company is definitely geared toward getting good results using the decentralized innovative approach. The company seems to provide a lot of latitude toward creativity and making changes to improve business platforms to get results.

Cons

The decentralized business tends to create a lack of standardization among even the sister companies. Also, some of the leaders in key positions are very political (not unusual, of course.) It seems if you aren't aligned with certain people you won't last long.

Pros

A lot of good people.

Cons

The good people don't stay around long - the company lays off often.
