      Pros

      I have been with the company for 1y 8 months. It's a great company with great benefits. If you work hard, and can manage your time appropriately then you will do well.

      Cons

      On the Glidde side the struggle within the home centers, and not having enough brand recognition. You have to fight Harder for everything since we aren't "exclusive"

      Pros

      Strong financially, the largest paint manufacturer in the world. Good products, especially the HDIM line. Acquisitions in last several years have added better-known brands and formulations(Glidden, Flood). Good dealer and stores network.

      Cons

      Lack of diversity- if you attend a sales conference, you notice that upper management is primarily middle aged men. Very few women and minorities. The company is top heavy with management, which is not particularly integrated with the field personnel; sales and profit objectives are difficult to obtain that way. There was a lot of talent lost with the Akzo integration, as many people from Akzo facilities (and from PPG facilities) did not want to move to Western Pennsylvania. There is a lack of product promotion, which could be better. The intimidation with big box retailers (HD) may backfire at some point.
