Pros

Excellent management experience Truly learn operational management on the job Pretty good benefits They do profit sharing by way of their bonus structure The opportunity to pay into a pension and a reduced rate on stocks

Cons

If anything is ever wrong, it will be the stores job to fix it, and therefore the Managers job The left hand of the company never coordinates with the right It felt like the position had no teeth in order to discipline staff The stores are chronically understaffed, and truly in a lot of respects underpaid Highly advise all female managers to advocate for themselves, especially surrounding remuneration

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.
