      Flexible when you need it, but no room to grow.

      Pros

      Easy to schedule around things you need to do out of work. You don't need to be a rocket-scientist to do well. Slow in the winter, so there is time to job search.

      Cons

      Poor pay unless you are in a profitable store. Management is apathetic to plight of those lower than a Store Manager. Poor communication, everything remains a secret until the last minute and when you are told something, there is no time to adjust. Inept senior management holdovers from the takeovers of Duron and MAB.

      Great for part-time job but look no further

      Pros

      Flexibility for college students or someone who needs a second job. Pay for part-time is very competitive. Small store, less employees = great comradery. Doing deliveries gets you out of the store for awhile. Your paint knowledge will expand 10 fold while working here. It is knowledge you can take with you. Employee discount is great; 40% to 50%. 401K was good until the economy took a dump.

      Cons

      Customers can be demanding. Self-important Contractors treat you badly and think they are the only people on Earth who paint and need deliveries. Contractors should tip more! DIY customers can stress out the best of us. Upper management needs to support subordinate managers much better, especially the ones that actually do their job. Upper management needs to come off their Schaumburg HQ tower and observe the front line more than 1 to 2 times a year. I saw my DM once last year...hmmm...and stop with the favoritism in certain employees who are no more capable than anyone else.

      a good entry level position...but then what...

      Pros

      good entry level job, and they advertise that. however, once you get out of the "entry level" range i feel there is a disconnect in career advancement, and a disconnect in salary. i guess that is part of the problem of working with big companies in general.

      Cons

      as mentioned above, career advancement/development is lacking. Employees are not rewarded for obtaining advanced degrees either by promotion or pay increase. lateral moves are the norm
