Pros

The company cares about it's employees An environment committed to excellence Responsibilities that are rewarding Good products are easy to sell with confidence Very good customers and co-workers (in my experience) Retirement plan

Cons

The nature of this job is very tedious. (with colors, application directions, and explaining directions to customers- very often, you'll say the same things over and over) Customers that complain about your service or products at their own fault is typical. Some products smell really bad, and you must work with them on a regular basis

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.
