Business Outlook

Pros

Well recognized, old money floating the company along.

Cons

They care more about their own internal functions and processes (expense reports, sales meetings, etc.) than they do about customers and sales. Upper management is a constant revolving door. New managers come in with new initiatives every few months (I had 5 managers in less than three years), leaving the front line field reps confused and and unable to get any traction on the competition (Sherwin Williams) in the market place.
