Pros

Promote from within, great brand, good new hire training and a market leader in new product development

Cons

Very large company that has changed to a corporate feel management style vs a customer service industry. Company puts more emphasis on “the logo” than the employees or customers.

Pros

Very little. 40% discount. That's about it.

Cons

Hard physical labor for hours at a time for the same amount you'll get paid at Papa Johns. If you're in the shape to work that hard you should go find a construction or trade job or even work for one of the many painting contractors that come into S-W every day. You'll be compensated much more fairly for your sweat. Managers and Assistant Managers make almost double what you make and don't do anywhere near the work you'll do.

pretty good place to work

Pros

Interesting work - lots of opportunities for advancement.

Cons

So big that sometimes the left hand and right hand seem to be on two different planets. Also, if there is ever a dispute between manager and employee, HR just seems to default to siding with management. Not as well compensated as other professionals doing the same work (found this out with the Valspar acquisition)
