Sherwin-Williams reviews

IMO downtown Cleveland is a terrible location. Outside of stores employees, don't expect much of a well defined career path. If you're young in the IT world, consider looking else where until you're further along in your career.

if you DON'T want to make a career in sales, there is very minimal opportunity for advancement past the store level. The emphasis is all about the sale and not necessarily about personal/professional development. Promotions are not necessarily based on performance - if upper management likes you, you get promoted, even after a poor performance the prior year. As a store manager, you are required to work at least 48 hours per week, but almost always end up working well over 50. The opportunity for bonus checks based on quarterly sales performance does offset the below-average base pay for a similar position with other companies, but you are based off the prior year's performance. You can have a lucky year and make some decent money, but then get stuck the following year playing catch-up. Communication from upper management to the store level is very last-minute and forces you to scramble to change staffing schedules to accommodate training sessions and meetings. Products are over-priced for the industry. While we do offer excellent customer service, there comes a point where the extras we offer aren't worth the extra money. Our commercial customers cannot keep raising their prices to offset rising material and gas prices, yet we continue to hit them with multiple price increases in a year's time.
