Pros

Job security, decent pay, some cool co-workers. Management is luck of the draw.

Cons

There are too many to list. If one is new, the operation of things can take some time to learn; contractors and other customers will rarely be patient, for they do not understand what you have to go through. The company operates like any other corporation, all they really care about is covering the earth with their firm hold on branding and supply, all while upper corporate management fabricates barrages of 'things to do' for the managers and underlings to comply and stay busy. Very little fulfillment in this raggedy retail space. The place operates with an absurd mentality with its outdated operating system and catering of the way we sometimes collect payment, and the lack of room for error, in which errors can create violent waves. Total entropy and hardly any room for learning.

Pros

A positive work environment. The best co-workers I have had so far in my career worked with me at Sherwin. I also worked under an amazing management team. There is a lot of room for career growth. I worked for Sherwin for about 3.5 years. I started as a contracted lab technician, then I was hired full time as an R&D Associate Chemist. I quickly worked my way up to R&D Chemist within a year of being hired full time. The department I worked in was very fast paced, however, I know there are many other groups that move at a much slower pace with longer timelines. This would make it much easier to manage the workload.

Cons

Working with marketing was challenging at times. We would regularly receive big requests a day before they needed something. This would pose a challenge when you had other priorities to attend to. The pay was average. I do think it could have been slightly higher for all of the job responsibilities given to the chemists in my group specifically. The workload was overwhelming at times.
