Pros

Good training programs to understand the company more for employees.

Cons

The company is fairly Caucasian based. I was the only non-Caucasian at training with all the other management trainees. It didn't seem like a very good job to develop a management career. The position was more of mixing paint and carrying it to customer's car each day. Very disappointing job coming out of university. Although the annual salary may be high, but the working hours are very demanding. 6:30 AM - 6PM shifts are frequent.

Pros

The benefits that SW provides is the best in the industry. For 6% of your salary a year SW will match 6% on 401k and 6% into your pension fund. SW is all over the world, there are endless opportunities to travel and move to another part of the country if you so desire. You can support a store as a PT, FT, Asst Manager, Manager, Outside Sales Rep, Tech Rep, or If you don't want to work in a store you can work internal support. Accounting, Insides Sales, Labs, New Product Development, Testing, Color Resources, Computer Tech, Auditors, etc. We are diverse and will maintain in a economy that has seen better days. The bonus plans for store management is excellent if you can have a good year. If you work your tail off you can get compensated for all the hard work.

Cons

Base pay is lower then some paint companies. Getting some things done through corporate america can be a pain.
