Pros

Collaborative working environment, friendly coworkers, and superb marketing department. Rust-Oleum dominates the consumer diy market segment generating an energy/excitement that runs throughout the culture of the company.

Cons

Rust-Oleum is a marketing driven company. Not for seasoned scientists but great for entry level recent grads.
