      After 9 years at Sherwin- You're cannon fodder unless picked out of college.

      Pros

      Laid back work environment. Friendly co-workers Easy schedules

      Cons

      80% of your customers don't have high school diplomas, yet demand they know more than you. You will not advance unless you have a college degree. There are no "interviews" for promotions; They know who's getting the job before it's posted. Store sales, not your performance, equate to your raises. Senior Management wants you to work harder, but also cuts your hours in thanks. Again, you will NOT advance here unless you have a degree. You are just a sales monkey who works until you have had enough, then they simply replace you.

      Pros

      Great benefits. Job security, their training program. Something new everyday. Never opened past 6. usually get tim off when needed.

      Cons

      Budgets are usually un realistic. they tell you how many hrs your employees can work If you don't get overtime they want you to work as many hours as possible. if you get over time they won't let you. if you are a minority or female you get promoted really fast. Seen someone get promoted that was down in sales. Also seen someone get promoted that was only at position for 1 year. They usually say two years. They have no set requirements for promotions it's who ever they have worked with before or if they were a MTP.. They want you to run a store with the least amount of people as possible. get positive feed back from customers they never say a word. But get 1 bad one and well...

      Pros

      some freedom to run your own store but not much. many choices to stock and sell and a world of information on the computer

      Cons

      unless you had college experience, you are on borrowed time. no respect for employees. an un- reachable budget to get bonus. management likes you when your numbers are good, but forget about you when times are tough with business, especially in these economic times when sales are tough to come by. pricing themselves out of business and do not want to hear it. i can go on and on....
