Pros

Fellow employees can be, ok. It is really easy to get hired if you are drug free. You get to learn a lot about the coatings industry.

Cons

Pay is bad. Starting pay is bad, too. With bad starting pay the employees that are hired are not very good. Mistakes can cost the company a huge amount of money. If you mistint a quart and it gets put on a wall it can cost the company thousands of dollars. Most "professional" customers are one step away from being homeless. They use double standards in enforcing rules.

Pros

Acceptable 401K matching with immediate vesting as well as an age based deferred compensation program that has a 3 year vesting period. Standard benefits and pay consistent with industry. Acceptable safety practices defined and adhered to throughout organization.

Cons

Moderately high turnover (at least my division). Inconsistent treatment of employees (flex time allowed for some employees but not others in same work category, some employees told to use personal car or phone for work activities while others get in trouble for same type of work activity, allowing some employees the options to apply and move internally while others are not allowed - and are sometimes even forced to moved to a role for which they didn't apply against their desires). Inconsistent reporting of data and legal brushes aside your questions/findings making you seem like you did something wrong when uncovering something fishy.
