Pros

They have good benefits. If you need a paycheck you will get it on time.

Cons

You have to deal with dirt bags all day every day. They will complain about anything because they know the game. District management is full of douche bags who will throw loyal employees under the bus rather than do the right thing and stand up to bogus complaints from "painters". You know the type, an out of work meth head with maybe 3 teeth. Don't laugh all you managers know it's true. Besides this, stores are understaffed. Managers are supposed to work ungodly hours to make things work. If you want your livelihood dependent on dishonest contractors, "painters" etc, then sherwin williams is for you.

Pros

-More overtime than any normal person would ever want available. -Everybody at the Sierra-DSC are great people, it starts to feel like family. -Everybody comes to work with a positive attitude, morale is really high. -You can joke around and tease everyone in management, and they will not get upset. They have a sense of humor. -Excellent training. -Great pay. -Excellent progression. -Great benefits. -Strong safety conscience culture. -Highly competitive culture. -Only been there a year, but the ambitious people seem to move up. Many are content in their current job they have held for decades because of the available overtime. -It says a lot when people who have been there twenty-plus years still come to work with a smile everyday, and there are quite a few of them. The number one thing for me personally is that people take pride in their work. It is invigorating to be on such a great crew. We have a good time at work and still get the job done.

Cons

The only complaint I can think of is the last minute notice mandatory overtime. They sometimes announce it at the beginning of your shift on Friday that you will be working Saturday leaving no time to change plans.
