If you like large companies, this one is pretty decent.

Filling supervisor

Business Outlook

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.

ICI Paints...Lots of potential. Will they realize it?

Sales associate

Business Outlook

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.

Nice company with good benefits but without challenge or independent thought

Business Outlook

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.
