Pros

Lots of opportunities to move to new places Great chance to learn sales and leadership skills If you're at a large volume store you can make great pay Everyday is a little different

Cons

If you don't have a good manager or good sales reps it can make your life miserable Some customers will make you question every decision you ever made If you can't move or aren't a favourite it can be really hard to advance If you get stuck at a small store you don't get enough to pay your bills even as a manager

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.
