Pros

Flexible schedule, start with vacation time, health benefits, good management experience, opportunities for advancement, varied tasks, not a desk job

Cons

Weekends, holidays, retail environment with uneducated contractors, physical labor (50lbs+ not uncommon). A full truck to unload of pallets stacked with paint. Advancement is possible but takes longer than they let on.

Pros

The company as a whole is very cooperative with the schedules and needs of their employees. They offer great benefits (even to part-timers), and I've never heard any of their managers say a bad thing about the way the company treats them or does business. They also provide you with your own Sherwin Williams work clothing.

Cons

If I knew then what I know now about employment law, then the manager I had at this location would have been in serious trouble. I've known other store managers for the company and they were absolutely fantastic, but it was unfortunate that the one was so unkind and without class. Poor training -- you essentially train yourself through personal observation. I hear it's better if you're part of the sales management program.
