Pros

Great pay and room for advancement if willing to relocate. You do get good training when starting in the manager training program out of college.

Cons

Middle and upper management are out of touch. They tell you to sell this product but don't always look at the geographical location of each store and what the demographics are. Middle management can be very irate and disrespectful when numbers aren't better than 100%. They are very short staffed in the stores and managers must always pick up those hours. You are way over worked for even the good salary. They also don't listen to what you have to say about things. Everything is seen as an excuse of why you didn't hit a target.

Pros

Interns gain hands-on experience in the daily management of a Sherwin Williams branch. In addition to gaining thorough product knowledge, interns have the ability to work on specific projects designed to be integrated with the regional growth strategy.

Cons

This internship heavily focuses on retail skills in addition to general business skills. Interns help manage warehouse storage, make paint, and stock shelves.
