Pros

There are no pros for working at this company. I honestly can't think of any.

Cons

Where to begin.. awful management, major favoritism to those who flirt and touch customers, HR doesn't care about you and only cares to protect the company, customer are rude and vulgar yet upper management lets it slide because it's a sale for them, long hours, working every weekend (at least in my store,) the worst people to ever work with, everyone legit tells on each other like we are in kindergarten, lots of backstabbing and fakeness. This was in New Jersey. I'm not sure how it is in other locations. But do yourself a favor.. if you went to college and have a degree, do NOT work retail, especially at Sherwin Williams. Also, there is NO work life balance. Save yourself from this company!

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.
