Pros
Working for Sherwin-Williams is like running your own company with someone else's money. You are given the trust and resources to make the decisions necessary to be successful. It takes an entrepreneurial spirit but the rewards are plentiful. Promotion from within is over 90%. It doesn't matter where you came from or who you know, what matters is hard work and performance. That's truly what gets you ahead here. Also, the benefits at SW are great: 401k, pension, medical, dental, vision, plus quarterly and annual bonuses. Performance pays.
Cons
Being spread out in retails stores does not always provide the comradery one might get in an office setting. You still get know people around you but there are rarely social events or after-work drinks. Additionally, working in our stores is quite physical. It's not a desk job, which is great, but it requires heavy lifting at times and constant movement. It's not a job for complacent or lazy people.
