Pros

It could be slow at night.

Cons

The company is aiming for diversity for women, but the problem is that the women would often abuse that power over the men at this company and it was disgraceful to see, and HR will not have your back over it. I would say sexism is running rampant against men at this company from my experience, we had over 7 managers out of 15 stores leave in my district all men because they were tired of the sexist female leadership and being worked like dogs. The company would make you drive 2 hours to your store one way if it meant money in their pockets which they made a lot of people do if they wanted a promotion. The company will work you to your breaking point, work you some more, and if you mess up they will blame everything on you. Get ready to work 70+ hours a week and get paid 45k a year for it. By the end of it you will hate yourself. Most people I know quit and went somewhere else, they realized that Sherwin was a joke and the higher-ups only care about profit over people. They don't want to pay employees their worth and they won't so get ready for that. They will work you to the ground and once you leave you will be happy you did.

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.
