Pros

Sherwin-Williams will offer a better than average package to new employees. It is definitely a hands on type of job for individuals who prefer to get a little dirty. This is not for someone that is opposed to physical labor.

Cons

The opportunities for advancement are definitely there...If you want to move every year from city to city and generally only continue to take Store management positions. Store managers work very long hours and the incentive to be a store manager is based primarily on status and bonuses. The salary difference between a store manager and assistant manager is very minimal when you add the extra hours and the added pressure of being the store manager.

Pros

Great benefits. Job security, their training program. Something new everyday. Never opened past 6. usually get tim off when needed.

Cons

Budgets are usually un realistic. they tell you how many hrs your employees can work If you don't get overtime they want you to work as many hours as possible. if you get over time they won't let you. if you are a minority or female you get promoted really fast. Seen someone get promoted that was down in sales. Also seen someone get promoted that was only at position for 1 year. They usually say two years. They have no set requirements for promotions it's who ever they have worked with before or if they were a MTP.. They want you to run a store with the least amount of people as possible. get positive feed back from customers they never say a word. But get 1 bad one and well...
