Pros

Sherwin is a great place to work. There are many perks for working for the largest paint company in the US including great benefits (401k, pension, health), paint discounts, and competitive salaries. I also find there is a lot of opportunity for growth at Sherwin and advancement is greatly encouraged and promoted.

Cons

This is all perspective, but one con about the headquarters is that they are located in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. Being from another area of the country it took me a little while to adjust to such a downtrodden city.

Pros

44 hour work weeks. Overtime is paid if you work over 44 hours. Good work environment for a working mother.

Cons

Very little communication from the bottom up. Store manager is not free to sell, he is bound by pointless regulations. Also the insurance is just about the worst available.
