Pros

Lots of bells and whistles type benefits for full timers. Good chance to work hard for the most part, up your action levels! Chance to practice your own mini game of thrones... You must learn to corporately stick up for yourself in a job like this!!! Opportunity to wield that shield and sword available here at SWP

Cons

Don't talk too well or be too smart. It will become a "problem". If your a "how can I help" type of person, run!!! You might work hard, get ignored, get criticized, then watch another worker do homework on the clock and it's all okay. The chosen ones come late to work, you come on time...eventually you look stupid for following the rules. Contempt grows and it's not yours...it's those seeing you work well that get pissed while they slump in still tossed from last night. Managers /Assistants complain about SW to new higher's. Politics of high-school quality were good grades get you contempt. Fine, but confusing for a adult. Yes lots of lifting. Yes blue color job. Yes old computer system. Yes bad/terrible training... Knowledge of certain tasks are hidden then used as a tool for lowering staff esteem, ...energetically toxic. (I learned the computer system in a couple days, that is, once I got pure cashier training...no big deal, yet till then, my lack of this pos knowledge was evidence of my ...unworthiness all things SW, lol. This demonstrates a strong need for others to talk down to you over something trainable in a couple days...knowledge is scarce and somewhat horded. However petty n belittling.) No cameras in stores so women please be wary. Guys, if you have a looser staff member that seams to want to hurt you, scream at you, or yes...run you over with the fork lift just know the company has thought this through and there are no cameras in most locations/stores. This way it's all staff word vs word and they will corner you to let it go, it's never a big deal. Environment is a ripe place for bullies to abound.

Pros

A positive work environment. The best co-workers I have had so far in my career worked with me at Sherwin. I also worked under an amazing management team. There is a lot of room for career growth. I worked for Sherwin for about 3.5 years. I started as a contracted lab technician, then I was hired full time as an R&D Associate Chemist. I quickly worked my way up to R&D Chemist within a year of being hired full time. The department I worked in was very fast paced, however, I know there are many other groups that move at a much slower pace with longer timelines. This would make it much easier to manage the workload.

Cons

Working with marketing was challenging at times. We would regularly receive big requests a day before they needed something. This would pose a challenge when you had other priorities to attend to. The pay was average. I do think it could have been slightly higher for all of the job responsibilities given to the chemists in my group specifically. The workload was overwhelming at times.
