Pros

401K Match, Grant program for schools where you can give a school up to $3,000, donation matches, gym in corporate location.

Cons

Conservative tense culture, job security is always on the line, everyone is always very negative. They favor men and will always cut a womans pay, and opportunities compared to men. Low pay compared to other companies in the industry. Start with 10 vacation days which is also low, and no sick days.

Solid Company with a Wealth of Opportunity

Pros

I'm on my 4th role in 8 years, so there has been a continuous supply of new opportunities, both to grow and progress in my career. Management has generally been responsive to employees. Benefits are middle of the road - good, but not great. The 401(k) match is strong. Work/life balance has been good, but this is largely based on the managers/departments I've worked in.

Cons

Not the most progressive company. It took quite a while to get same-sex partner benefits (I want to say either 2013 or 2014). Work from home is again hit and miss, depending on your department and manager. Only other concern I would say is the risk of being in a business unit that get's divested. The company is generally moving toward a coatings-centric company, so I've lost co-workers to other companies as their business unit is sold and they become part of another company.
