Pros

The industry is interesting and has huge growth potential. Opportunities are there to be had. Nice work environment.

Cons

Old school management, and disjointed leadership create confusion and lack of vision. No commercial strategy, no financial strategy, no communication strategy and no operational know how = no idea about managing a global entity. Worse of all the Cx’s are holding onto their position as if they have nothing to do with the situation the company is in.

Thank you for your recent review. We appreciate your open and honest feedback as it is truly important to us that our people believe and embrace the plan we have defined through our five-year transformation programme. We’re sorry that your vision for Colart has been different to ours. We agree with you and believe that our amazing brands have huge growth potential and opportunities. Harnessing this, our goal is to achieve operational excellence, a profitable suite of brands and most importantly an engaged ‘Colart family’. However, we also acknowledge our transformation journey can present associated challenges and hurdles and a lot of learning in the process. We appreciate this journey has potential impact on our people and we maintain confidence that these sometimes seemingly tough times will realise our strategy for a stronger Colart. Kind regards, (on behalf of) Dennis van Schie, CEO.

Pros

Great Company with wonderful and friendly hard working staff and management! Company has great products and the employees I work with belief in it and are proud of it! The training in great, and they take good care in making their staff feel part of the family. There is opportunity for growth.

Cons

The paid is good but many lower level positions only hire for part time, so there are no benefits at this level. Some things could be update it, and unified. There are a lot of steps to complete a simple task something they are working on though.
