Pros

Did the management trainee program. I had a great training store and then was transferred to a small store in the district. You learn a lot in a small period of time and its a great way to get your foot in the door at Sherwin or get management experiance to purse your career else where. Upper management is great to work for and they have been very supportive of me.

Cons

Its a retail job so will not have the best hours. Open 7 days a week and from 7am-7pm weekdays. Not many days off your first year but increases greatly after you complete one full year with the 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.
