Pros

Good work/life balance, room to grow, willing to work with you, management actually cares about you (or at least as much as they can being such a large company)

Cons

It's a large company so sometimes you get a little lost but I really don't have a lot of cons. It's corporate do anything that goes along with a corporate job would come along with this.

Pros

Training is great, very dedicated staff. The benefits are really good as well, and the career opportunities are very much out there, IF you are willing to relocate.

Cons

It used to be a great place to work. All the people involved were more like family, but then "Corporate" decides to move everything to Pittsburgh and cut out everyone that has been here for an average of 20 years. Now, they are growing to fast with acquisitions and don't have anyone in place that knows what they are really doing. The compensation is not the best either. They usually tend to be on the lower end of the market and you can only increase a certain percentage of your current base with any promotions, no matter the size of the job.

Pros

Well recognized, old money floating the company along.

Cons

They care more about their own internal functions and processes (expense reports, sales meetings, etc.) than they do about customers and sales. Upper management is a constant revolving door. New managers come in with new initiatives every few months (I had 5 managers in less than three years), leaving the front line field reps confused and and unable to get any traction on the competition (Sherwin Williams) in the market place.
