Pros

Salary and flexibility. That's about it.

Cons

Layoffs. I was laid off after 7 years. All that was said that was my job was "eliminated". It turned out to be the best thing that has ever happened. I now work for a key competitor that is truley a first class organization that has a business plan for today, tomorrow, and the future. ICI has NO CLUE when it comes to selling and supplying paint to customers. Home Depot is their biggest customer with tons of opportunity, yet their sales are on a steady decline year after year. I was told by numerous HD upper management that the product was "dying on a vine". And they were absolutely right. All I can say is THANK YOU ICI.

Pros

ICI Paints has a ton of potential but has in the past squandered it. Pervioulsy they failed to listen to what customers want and instead have told customers what they should want. They have undergone what appears to be reorganization after reogranization. They should pick a strategy and follow it. Good

Cons

Pervioulsy they failed to listen to what customers want and instead have told customers what they should want. THere is very litte opportunity to move up as the organization is very flat and individuals have been in their roles for many years and are unlikely to leave anytime soon.

Pros

Akzo has wonderful people at my location and the workday is laid back and not stressful. The location itself is pretty nice, and there are alot of little conveniences that go along with working here such as a reduced price for gym membership nearby and decent on site dining facilities.

Cons

The work is easy and not stressful to the point of it sometimes getting boring even when it is not repetitive. The repetitive parts are extremely boring and sometimes seem unnecessary.
