Pros

As a Union member, the pay is higher than some of the other paint manufacturing companies in the area.

Cons

There are a lot more cons that pros. First off, you are forced to work OT and on your days off. Short staffed, horrible working conditions, managment is clueless and lacks operational direction. Unless you really need a job, stay away from this place.

Pros

Pros : Non - Applicable .

Cons

Pay is not competitive. Promotions are not based on merit, but politics. Middle management is completely useless and so far removed from the realities of the day-to-day life of store operations. They will postpone necessary repairs that need tending to save a buck (knowing they won’t be the ones dealing with those repercussions). Too many “upper management” positions. Fire some of those people and you’ll have money to actually staff your stores. No store staffing. No work-life balance. 6-day working week (sometimes 10-12 hours shifts) with 1 day to "rest". Poor COVID-19 response. NO PRODUCT. Constant issues with DSC shipments. Allowing stores and reps to steal accounts. Giving accounts away to other stores to make stores meet budget to please stockholders. I could go on and on. What’s a reason to stay with this failing company?
