Pros

Not bad for pay as a new ASM Great atmosphere in store as a rule. Management deals fairly with subordinates. ASM's usually have AWESOME schedules, IF the store has all the keyholders, managers and associates required. NO NIGHT SHIFTS!!! I was usually on the road home by 6:15pm. Decent training program. Ability to truly run your own store as you see fit. They embrace employee innovation to the fullest (usually).

Cons

Stress like never before! Expect to deal with 3-4 customers' orders at once, all of them on tight deadlines Extreme level of competency required on all product lines. You need to learn to become a walking encyclopedia on the products and uses.

Pros

Fortune 500 company. On a store level there our a lot of great individuals.

Cons

Sherwin Williams states it is a family company but we work a lot of crazy hours. If you happen to be in a small store your work becomes your life. Very difficult to transfer to another district. It is very difficult to move up the corporate ladder with this company.
