Pros

Benjamin Moore offers a lot of perks to make up for the fact that they pay so little. They provide 4 weeks vacation and free lunch everyday. There is a good sense of community there with sports teams and other activities. Most of the people were great to work with.

Cons

Someone without experience will have to wait a long time to be promoted or gain any recognition at this company. People with Master's degrees were working as lab technicians while I was there making around 35k a year. Needless to say, everybody in that situation has since left the company.
