Pros

You were allowed to drive the delivery van to different job sites. They are professional but down to earth. They are a diverse company that hires different people of all backgrounds. They are great about hiring college graduates and there is opportunity to move up in the company. Usually only a limmited amount of people work at one store but can be a bad thing when requesting time off.

Cons

Unless you go into the Manager Training Program, it takes effort to learn all their products. If you want to work here you must have a willingess to take the time to educate yourself. In the MTP you take classes and ate given books and binders on all the data pages and info on each product, but when you are as a sales associate you kind of learn as you go which can be stressfull.

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.
