      Great Benefits, Great Company

      Pros

      401k, Benefits, and movement inside the company. Each and every position is based on merit and how well you perform. It also has a very extensive training program that keeps all the management/store staff on the same page. The incentive plan is amazing too. Once you start hitting your budget the company strongly rewards you. Its is very nice getting an extra $11,000 per year. Overall I would recommend getting involved with the Management Training Program(MTP).

      Cons

      Long hours, customer complaints. Sometimes requires alot of patience. There are some days which I do not get many breaks but thats how the painting business goes. The bonus money is taxed 40% though which is kinda bad, but that is not this companies fault.

      Pros

      Job security, opportunity for advancement, benefits are among the best in the industry. Time off is relatively easy to get when needed. SW is generally receptive to new ideas and continually updates its systems and processes.

      Cons

      Very large corporation - so rules and regulations are very general and can be frustrating to work around in certain circumstances.

      Sherwin-Williams: Great place to start a career.

      Pros

      Great training program for entry level sales people. Most promoting comes from within. It really depends on what district you work in, but I love working in the Washington DC area. Great flow of information from management to employees. As a sales rep, I have a lot of freedom to run my territory the way I choose as long as my numbers are good. Good base pay with uncapped earning potential. Even in this tough economy, SW still takes great care of their employees. A lot of the competition are laying off employees, while SW is giving raises and paying dividends.

      Cons

      Districts often compete with each other for business. Male dominated industry.
