      Good place to work but watch out for bureaucracy

      Pros

      The company takes time to make sure that all employees are up to date on the latest and greatest product offerings. Furthermore their training (although boring and tedious) is helpful when you are trying to help a homeowner. This is a service job so you will be dealing with customers but in general Sherwin seems to promote the right people to run the stores.

      Cons

      This is a large corporation and you will fill out paperwork... a lot of paperwork for everything you do. Furthermore, even at the lowest level you are expected to be able to juggle tasks that may far outweigh your pay grade (e.g. large orders for industrial coatings and the like)

      Pros

      You are properly taught things about the products you are selling. You have to pass a series of ~ 24 tests before you are considered trained, but even then you learn every day. Great customer clientele, very willing to work with your schedule, very understanding. I can see myself stay with the company at least throughout college. Oh, and starting pay is well above minimum per hour for a part timer. So, not bad for being really young with no experience really per say. Oh, and 40% off isn't bad either.

      Cons

      very heavy lifting at times. There are a fair amount of meeting you have to go to wherever you district headquarters are, which can be inconvenient, for me it's an hour away.
