Pros

Good for college students, decent pay for part time work, always busy, great stepping done job

Cons

Customers are sometimes some of the meanest spiteful people, which Sherwin bends over backwards, disregarding warranties to please. Often, bad precedence is set by managers and it falls to the assistant and part timers to clean up. Little evaluation of managers actual capabilities to operate the store and manage personell efficiently.

Pros

easy job with little work load and decent customer base

Cons

they cut my 401k for 6 months with no mention of when it was coming back, terrible CEO that everyone hated who cut jobs to save money for a new headquarter that we absolutely did NOT need, bought a random argentinian paint company to monopolize an already dying business and put the cost back onto the consumer by charging way more for paint. They also give discounts to national brands and apartment complexes that are literally less than what the store charges for paint and forces us to sell to them, losing money in the process ( for the individual stores but making them money since they own the whole manufacturing and distribution process and up-charge stores for products they require us to sell ). Overall climbing up the ladder is easy but upper management suck and will make any good hearted, hardworking manager quit in the long run.
