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

Just to collect a small paycheck

Cons

Corporate is located in Mexico and doesn't seem to know what is going on with it's management team in the U.S. Management has no respect or concerns for it's employees. Much of management came from non-paint failed businesses. It seems as if positions are pre determined before jobs are posted. People are afraid to speak out for fear of losing their jobs.

Pros

There are none at this point .

Cons

Mismanagement from the time Kwal was purchased to now ! Currently we have a high school kid and ex-jock running the Stores side . Their vision is limited and juvenile at best . It's not their fault , it's all they know . Decisions have no strategic thought applied and are typically made " off the cuff ". The reputation that Kwal once had as a dominant , agile , " know your customer " type of business has gone to a sterile almost antiseptic attitude from the leadership . The Stores, Sales , District Managers and Sales Managers side of this business to include customers are very rarely asked for input to correct the problems that are created by corporate. Our most important asset , to be sure ! Inventory shortages , staffing shortages , antiquated equipment , no training ( Amazing Training ?? what a joke ) contributed mightily to the downfall of a once great and proud company , Kwal . Oh and if your not one of " the boys " forget it , no opportunity for contributing much less promotions. Poor pay , lousy benefits , and a work environment that threatens or pressures employees to resign ( Asset Management ) . Upper management spends like crazy while the Stores are mandated to reduce " hours " in the Stores . Golf , multiple hundreds of dollars on meals , using frequent flyer mileage that the company paid for personal use . I could go on and on but what's the point ? A Company that has ( had ) a wealth of talent , commitment , dedication and loyalty has been burned to the ground . Shame on you !!
