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.

Pros

The company has many friendly, caring people working in key areas. They pay management well; with bonus opportunities and compensations. They are very customer-focused, although they take the phrase "the customer is always right" to the extreme--with sometimes severe consequences to local management.

Cons

Don't buck the system; even if you are right, you will be punished for it. The company does not treat different locations fairly and distinctly. If the guy in the next city is doing well, you should be doing well also, regardless of differences in local markets. They are fixated more on profits than on doing the right thing, although I believe this is a sore point with many corporations these days.

Pros

The leadership of the company is taking it in a great direction to be an industry leader for years to come.

Cons

Needs to look at technology to make the paint buying experience match the level of quality products.
