Your experience heavily depends on your store. This review is based on my personal experience but does not reflect all. - Third Key Holder Sherwin-Williams Employee Review

Pros

You get great hands-on experience for daily operations. Many opportunities to grow your career.

Cons

All stores are severely 'fully staffed' with typically 5 associates running a store that operates 7 days a week. Your experience is heavily dependent on which store you land in. I've worked for a store with bad management that mad my experience terrible and I've worked for a store with a great manager that made my experience the best.

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.
