Pros

-Awesome benefits for full-time employees -Networking with other stores for customer and market base to acquire knowledge of products for contractors -You can fast-track your career depending on your career goals. -If you don't know anything about paint, no worries as there are meetings held throughout the year for product demos and numerous resources at the store level for daily learning and product recommendations to contractors and DIYs

Cons

-Management can be a little micromanaging -Open on Sundays, all stores should be closed as commercial stores are the only ones closed on Sundays -Rude customers sometimes, but you have to know your customers and their business style, Sherwin Williams does have policies to limit and end customer business when needed. -work/life balance can be interesting, it all depends on your store location

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.
