Pros

Above market pay - it's the only way Axalta is able to attract talent because leadership (particularly CPO Mark Dixon) is completely ineffective and create an awful working environment (abusive, belittling, threatening, etc.).

Cons

- Constant turnover (1 out of 3 new hires dont stay for a full year) - Return to office policy (implemented by CPO Mark Dixon) that only applies to procurement - Healthcare benefits are far below industry average - No work life balance (expected to work weekends and holidays) - Performance management is a joke (unrealistic performance goals were provided 5 months into year) - Complete lack of procurement resources (no training provided, no market intel subscriptions, no pricing benchmarks, management will not approve you going to industry conventions, etc.) - Company wide travel freeze due to incompetence of C-suite - No investment in ancient crumbling infrastructure - Not paying strategic suppliers (and putting the responsibility on procurement to maintain/repair relationship)
