Pros

Great benefits for an American job. Pension, 401k match, tiny stock benefits (you get 'free' stock at certain work anniversaries) The higher you go in the company, the better the people/culture

Cons

Working in the stores level of the company is brutal and while you make pretty good money at successful stores, the hours are long and slower stores don't make any of the extra commission/bonus to make the long hours worth it

Pros

Sherwin-Williams gave me the tools I needed to run a store. My training manager wasn't the greatest - I actually learned more from one of the part-timers that had been there for 30+ years. I liked the hands-on learning piece. Once I completed the program, they insisted on 'floating' me through 3 stores in the area because of high turnover (they couldn't get enough people to be assistant managers). I ended up quitting because I wanted stability and consistency daily (these locations were so spread apart; one was 1.5 hours to get to). Overall, SW is a great company to work for, I just lost interest over time.

Cons

Working on the weekends (when your store manager refused to work Saturday/Sundays), dealing with angry or rude contractors, pay was mediocre.

Pros

Nothing I can think of. Wouldn’t recommend.

Cons

High turnover, low staff, so you’ll more than likely end up working long hours without any help. Pay is mediocre.
