Pros

Stable Company, Sense of Community, Easy to build relationships with customers and other employees, Fair pay, 401(k) options, Easy to transfer to new locations (I did twice), challenging, easy to make into career. This can be a fun job and it can be a very stressful job during the busy season.

Cons

Contractors can have very high expectations (to be fair we claim to be the pro's) and if your experience in paint goes no further than Sherwin-Williams you will get frustrated customers. Sales training is good, product and paint knowledge takes years to feel comfortable with. If your a clutz like myself you will spend a lot of money on your uniform! I have worked for the company 2 years and have not recieved a full-time position; even though they have just hired 2 new part-timers and I consistently have to ask for more hours. Has a very 'corporate' presence.
