      My experience at Sherwin-Williams has been great with minor negatives that come with any job.

      Pros

      Fair base-pay. Flexible schedule and opportunity to increase or decrease hours based on need/want. Clean environment. Healthy social environment (depending on managers). Easy to make good score on appraisals just by coming to work when expected and having a good attitude. Opportunities to move up as long as you are willing to put in time to learn the ins and outs of the company.

      Cons

      - making sure the store is staffed right at all times (the job is specified as part-time for a reason and employees should not be expected to work full-time or close to full-time for lengthy periods of time due to under staff reasons)

      Pros

      Fairly good health benefits and the Stock Purchase Plan (401K) is performing amazingly. Also, the credit union gives low-interest loans and offers low-interest credit cards.

      Cons

      The new management in the Southeastern area is either completely out of touch with the needs of the employees or they just don't care. We suspect the latter is true, given that nothing has changes since the "secret meeting" with HR from Cleveland a few months ago. The implementation of "Seal Island" now changed to "Sales Call Wednesdays" has brought manager morale to an all-time low. This extremely unethical strategy of "poaching" customers from the parking lots of our competitors along with the forced sales calls that all managers and assistant managers have to make and document have made running the store efficiently nearly impossible. To add insult to injury, any employee who doesn't comply with the plethora of new rules, regulations, and mandated tasks can be written up on the spot and this is being used by management as leverage to intimidate employees through fear of losing their jobs. This is a pitiful work environment that is unhealthy to everyone!
