Pros

Salary and benefits are good compared to similar jobs. There is a lot of training available for new employees. Good opportunity to gain sales experience. There are some opportunities for advancement if you are willing to move.

Cons

Work life balance is poor. It can be a lot of nights and weekends, especially at a rural store. A lot of politics.

Pros

-Started working with zero paint, tinting, or retail knowledge, management was understanding and supportive. Allowing me to grow and receive good pay. -Meeting different people, networking with contractors and interior designers, farmers and so on.. - Feeling part of the community, selling paint and working with contractors for projects in your town.

Cons

-Those holding bachelors who enroll in the management training program receive unfair attention and promotions opposed to those without schooling yet have more history and knowledge in comparison. (as mentioned here numerous times) -company infrequently holds pointless and childish "role-playing" meetings, requiring employees to sometimes drive hours to attend them.

Pros

Had the opportunity to gain sales experience. I also was given responsibility to negotiate sales prices with contractors. Overall, customers were really nice and friendly. Good work environment.

Cons

Have to relocate to move up. Putting up inventory when truck days were sometimes tedious because you have to assist customers and put up pallets full of paint.
