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.
