Pros

Sherwin-Williams will offer a better than average package to new employees. It is definitely a hands on type of job for individuals who prefer to get a little dirty. This is not for someone that is opposed to physical labor.

Cons

The opportunities for advancement are definitely there...If you want to move every year from city to city and generally only continue to take Store management positions. Store managers work very long hours and the incentive to be a store manager is based primarily on status and bonuses. The salary difference between a store manager and assistant manager is very minimal when you add the extra hours and the added pressure of being the store manager.

Pros

Leadership training, flexible schedule if your store has the necessary staffing, 401k match

Cons

If you don't have staffing then you are required to work weekends consistently, Sales calls requirements keep getting higher and higher, incompetent corporate leadership. Pay is based on 44 hours worked weekly for assistants(48 for Store managers; leaves room for less work/life balance
