Pros

Financially strong; promote from within; career advancement opportunities; invest in training and job tools I worked at SW for over 3 years and really enjoyed it. I made a difficult decision to leave (on good terms) and start my own home renovation business, which did well for a while but not enough to support a growing family on single income. I have applied to several positions at SW and not had any luck. It's a wonderful company and I would gladly work for them again.

Cons

Challenging re-hire practices; once you leave, it is next to impossible to be re-hired

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.
