Pros

There is a ton of room for advancement. Everyone is willing to assist you with your growth. Friendly and supportive work environment. Allows you to develop sales skills and understand the different market segments.

Cons

The job does require a lot of heavy lifting as your working with high volumes of paint. If you are out of shape (I was when I started) this will feel tough at first, but your body gets stronger the more you do it and sooner or later it's easy.

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.
