      Great company, minus some ideas senior management has

      Pros

      My time i have spent with the company has been great, both my manager and assistant manager are awesome, close knit feeling at the store. I am getting paid quiet well for a part time position in the town, my managers are great about feed back both positive and negative but they don't come down hard on a person the just make sure you know what happened and how you should do it next time or fix it. plenty of room for advancement, and the stores are generally a lot of fun to work in.

      Cons

      I can't understand some policies that senior management has in place, we are a high quality paint store do we really need to be open on the day after thanksgiving and Christmas REALLY!!!!? who is going to come buy paint in the middle of winter in northern Minnesota the day after Christmas or thanksgiving.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Reliable company, consistent stock prices Opportunity for advancement (if you relocate) Good training Decent medical coverage, good retirement

      Cons

      Never the same schedule (12 hour work days, weekends, holidays, denied vacation days) Too many "upper" management positions to answer to, as a store employee you are generating profit but have City Managers, District Managers, VPs and more constantly to answer to Raises are insulting 1-5% no matter cost of living and mostly based on sales budget (ie: economy is bad all around, no raises for 3+ years) Stores are short staffed. A store open 7 days a week, 75+ hours with 2 FT and 1 PT (15-20 hrs/wk) is common Expected to be on call constantly, contractors call you on weekends, evenings, etc Corporate issues selling strategies with leads given to you that you are forced to dedicate time on doing (ie: sales calls to hotels); when they don't generate sales you are the one who is responsible for them not working Flip flop of what the actual goals are. One quarter it is sell gallons (volume), next quarter it is make the most profit, next quarter it is be competitive do whatever it takes. Most of the times you don't know what the 'goal' is until its over. Upper management (VPs of Sales) changes every 2 years and comes in with new policies that are a 180 degree turn from what you had been doing.

      Pros

      Good people to work with. Safety is stressed, as is housekeeping. A clean, safe manufacturing facility. Good benefits. Lots of overseas business, so job stability and growth should be good in the long term.

      Cons

      Pay is mediocre to start. The scuttlebutt is one has to 'pay one's dues' for a few years before pay is raised to a level above average. Training for new operators is spotty and sometimes unclear. I spend a fair bit of time clarifying key points of my job so I don't screw something up.
