Business outlook

Pros

Health insurance, small pension, many good products, camaraderie among many others wanting to leave.

Cons

New president is condescending to women, makes appearance comparisons about females in the office , he does not discourage his male direct reports from this behavior. This will cost Rust-Oleum and RPM sooner than later.
