Pros

Good retirement package Pay isnt top of the industry, but competitive Good Senior management group Making good adavancements in oversees markets to become a global presence Safety is a top priority throughout the company

Cons

-Poor health insurance (Aetna), You have to fight to get claims paid -No opportunities for advancement outside of Cleveland -Groupthink mentality by the Technical Senior Management, think like us or leave attitude prevents new ideas and innovations -Raise system is backwards. The better you become at your job, the less raise you get -Superstar employees get burned out quickly because they are not rewarded or recognized. Networkers get more recognition and appreciation although they produce fewer results -Company does not appreciate education. Advanced degrees are treated with less respect than Bachelors level. -No guidance or direction from Human Resources in advancing your career. -Corporate being in Cleveland prevents the company from being so much more. Many suppliers state how they hate going to Cleveland to do business because the city is a "dump".

Pros

World class company with World Class Values. Employees are treated with respect and given the freedom to "run their own business". Compensation is not great, but definitely good (remember, we sell paint).

Cons

It's sometimes too challenging to get things accompolished within the company. If you know the right person to call, its not a problem, but finding the right person to call can take some time. We are required to do a lot, with little help.
