Pros

Very Stable Management and now with Akzo Nobel taking over the future looks very good.

Cons

Not enough field input in some of the Sales impacting decisions and old pos system that lengthens the sales process.

Pros

Large infusion of capital by Akzo Nobel for commercials, sponserships, and PR. New product line, new advertisments, and great benefits.

Cons

Seems like the some of the same folks from ICI are still running the show. Why? There is no professional training program as found in other large corp's. Why doesn't Strongsville promote capable sales reps from the field, instead of the typical "who you know folks"?

Pros

Large company with products that are in demand in good times and bad. They make products that people use quite frequently and add to the quality of their lives. The company was very serious about employee safety (to the point of going way overboard, at least at the Reading plant).

Cons

The paints division was recently bought by Akzo Nobel and the Reading, PA plant was closed. Many people were laid off and few were offered positions within the company. The Reading plant is now a heap of rubble. I don't know anything about Akzo Nobel, so I can't comment on them.
