Pros

New challenges every day. Great place to hone your skills before moving on into the real world.

Cons

Lack of communication with Upper to lower management. Upper management does not give concise job details of job duties but rather dictate the expectations. This is fine for the military but when employees are not trained properly how can they be expected to perform properly.

Pros

Pay, Benefits, Coworkers, ability to work independently

Cons

Glass Ceiling for women. Managers who don't want you to get ahead for fear it would be at their expense. Managements desire to promote MEN to power positions, because they have a higher risk of losing them then women. Managements indifference or flat out ignorance of who works for them and what they do. Managements inability to utilize technology and inability to mandate that their employees utilize technology, either because they don't know or don't care. Inability to use the correct resources.

Pros

Great pay and benefits in a retail field. Are praised for what you accomplish not what recognition your boss takes from you. Career opportunities are wide open for you, if you are looking for a different job with in the company it can be easily obtained. Sherwin Williams has a online job posting system and anywhere in the country a job opens up that job will be posted online for you to apply to.

Cons

Hours can be long at the management level, can sometimes be hard to get days you want off. People are traded fairly but some managers can be difficult to work along side with.
