Pros

Good RPM benefits, 401k matching, affordable health care, and even pension. Pay is competitive within coatings industry.

Cons

Ever changing personal makes executing a strategy next to impossible. HR has no control and the new President who creating a wake of destruction aka "change" with no clear strategy or vision. Beatings will continue until morale improves has become the new mantra.

Pros

Excellent compensation & benefits package. Pension plan that is unheard of nowadays. Opportunity to work on challenging/complex projects and develop relationships with industry leaders. Working at Carboline has elevated my career tremendously.

Cons

Carboline is not for the faint of heart. We hire the best and give them the support and freedom to put their skills to work. I’ve recruited friends to work here because I strongly believe in the people and products that make Carboline who we are.
