Pros

hires within company and there is room for a career and good pay if you go through management training program. On job training about products and more simpler better training modules than in 2012 , room for growth if you provide numbers and work ethic. 401K for all employees , retirement guaranteed for people who stay until retirement age , management and district positions and up are guaranteed health benefits

Cons

Pits stores and sales reps against each other to produce results in sales and # ,doesn't promote store to store cooperation ,busy stores don't have a lunch break culture. no benefits for part timers -just a 401k that all goes into stock in the company. can be taxing on the body to mix paint and lift over 250lbs of paint regularly , no career advancement if you are a color specialist.

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.
