Pros

There are so many good people that work on the store level that put their heart and soul into the company...

Cons

Comex has the capability to become a Paint Company Powerhouse in The United States. The biggest problem is Morale is at an all time Low..Poor decisions from so many departments have left a negative impact on so many hard working employees..While Comex has enjoyed the benefits of Price Increases passed on to Customers, nothing has been done to increase any pay to the employees that are on the front lines..VP's fly all over the country at a moments notice to attend meetings that are meaningless costing the company thousands...I shake my head that so many people are calling the shots that have no clue about the business or the right direction...If Comex doesn't make changes soon to get some people in these Positions that know how to empower and trust the employees, their time in the US will be short-lived..

Pros

Great company to work for. I worked in the paint business for 39 1/2 years, because it was a paint company purchasing us and not just an investment company we were very happy to be bought by them They new paint and made great industrial coatings. I worked for them until they sold to Sherwin Williams. A great loss to the paint business, in the US.

Cons

They made a big mistake by selling to Sherwin Wiliams. So many good workers lost their jobs. Thats what happens when the mega companies are able to take over the world.

Pros

none to share. If I had not had any previous experience I would have not stayed as long as I did. All I can say is that my DM was approachable and the Credit Supervisor was always willing to work with my open accounts.

Cons

Insurance, Computer systems, Corporate offices, inventory control systems, sales reps, and much more. I was promoted to a commercial store but had to take a personal loan out to move with no help from Comex group. I also was told the store I was getting was closed on Saturdays, one main decision factor for my acceptance. When I arrived I was ordered to start opening my store on Saturdays. I was sold short on salary, it was non-negotiable. Trucks never arrived on time or just did not show up. Inventory was a joke, I had 200 mistinted gallons of inventory in stock not written off. When I made it aware to upper management I was told to sell it as is and not write it off. The computer systems were so out dated that the main registers were on green screen. I had employees that had worked for the company for 5 years that had never been to a training session.
