Pros

Meet a lot of new people

Cons

Just because someone is black doesn’t mean they are a thug. Just because someone is gay doesn’t mean they can’t be in management. Was made fun of because of the color of my skin. And wherein Williams defended the worker who did it. Relocated to another store and when I asked about moving up was Justin told me he didn’t know how he would present me because of my sexual preference. Even though I was told I’m a great worker and moved up quickly. The raises are a joke. They do not care about you. They just care that you sell their paint to any and everyone even if you have to lie. A company full of greedy liars

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.
