Pros

Great parties, pension plan is a great bonus and an uncommon benefit. Free coffee , nice cafeteria and building.

Cons

Highly overworked with no work/ life balance. Upper management doesn’t care as long as they get they get their huge bonuses. Salaries are low compared to comparable positions. Company is owned by RPM International which adds another layer of upper management looking at the numbers only with no regard for the human element. People are leaving due to all of the above.
