Sherwin-Williams reviews

The work culture was very dependent upon what store you were in. I chose not to enter the Management Training program because the pressure to grow sales was not balanced with a supportive management or price points that could bring success. It seemed like the successful reps and market managers were the ones willing to bend the rules or cut corners. Not something I wanted to make a career out of. - Retail hours with retail pay.

Long hours, negligent corporate management, no profit sharing. Corporate(run largely by a bunch of white collar folks who have never run a store and who work in offices with convenient 8-4 or 9-5 shifts) makes policies and tells the managers how to operate their stores often to the detriment of morale and store function. Also just because the company is making more money than ever, and sales are up drastically- that profit (and bonus opportunity) is lost in the corporate world of budget increases and policy. 44 hours is the req. for Asst. Managers, and 48 for store managers- however with hours of 7-7 and a shortage of trained staff ( lost a bunch of skilled workers when SW dropped the full time clerk position) expect to pull a lot of OT and 12 hour work days.
