Pros

Team-oriented culture, decent pay and good benefits (but expensive)

Cons

Pay should be much higher for employees with more experience, especially considering the market. Bonuses are pretty much unattainable, as with all SW sales positions. You have to have an outstanding year to achieve any kind of bonus, and the following year you're going up against the numbers you made the year prior with at least a 20% increase to hit before any bonuses come into effect. This makes people not want to work as hard. On the Consumer Brands Group, Lowe's Business Unit side of SW, there isn't much room for growth.

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.
