Pros

- Fairly easy work, tinting paint isn't hard - Great training, it's always clear what's expected - Nice people, I got along with everybody I met

Cons

- Can get boring and repetitive - Customers can be difficult, but that happens with any retail position

Pros

great hours for a student. they work around one's school schedule very well. i had and still have a great relationship with my assistant manager and manager. That may be a result of the people and not necessarily anything to do with Sherwin-Williams.

Cons

they work you every single weekend. over a five year span, i worked on average 49-50 weekends a year. management always complains and whines when you take time off. dealing with paint contractors on a daily basis is banality at its absolute worst. no offense, actually a little, paint contractors are not the brightest or deepest individuals you'll meet. they always act like it's a sin to ask them for payment. i was under the impression that sherwin williams was a business. one important thing to note, gossip and rumors spread real quick. be careful of what you say and how you say it to other employees.

Pros

It's a steady job that is hard to get fired, there are days where you'll have 3-4 hours of downtime between customers, so if you stay caught up with your duties, the job isn't difficult.

Cons

There used to be a tv playing for customers until upper management axed it. Stores are open 7 days a week & only closed on the big holidays, New Years, Thanksgiving, Christmas. Now open until about 4 on 4th of July, Labor Day, Christmas Eve, you get the idea. Opening hours are being extended during "Super Sales" on friday & monday of sale untill 8, not very family friendly. Typically a skeleton crew is used at store, because that is all that SW allows, very strict on overtime.
