Pros

Good reputation as a company. Stability over a number of years. Benefits are okay. Strong stock performance. Flexibility on an hour to hour basis.

Cons

Your good performance is a two edged sword. The other edge cuts your throat the following year when inevitable business cycles occur. Retail hours are getting longer and longer with a view to service business that probably won't buy from us anyway. Combination of longer hours and short staffing is creating a situation where we are physically unable to provide the very kind of service we claim to have.

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.
