Pros

SW has the best compensation plan in the industry. I have worked for numerous paint cmpanies and feel that I am being as fairly compensated as I have ever been. The salary package is competitive, not really high, but competitive. The bonus plan is very lucrative and exceptionally well defined. The training that we recieve has to be the best in the industry. In two and a half years, I have been sent to three different training courses...all of which have been really helpful and well run. Also, the retirement plan/401K program provides up a 6% match, which has enabled me to save for retirement in a very real and significant way.

Cons

As a large corporation, there are times that you can feel lost in the vastness of the system.

Pros

Corporate training does allow for some professional development, most people working for the company are friendly and enthusiastic about what they do, your hard work pays off

Cons

I was in the Management Training Internship and it left a lot to be desired. Just felt like a meaningless summer job schlepping paint around. Lots of rumors fly around about poor management in stores - but that could just be a little competitive jeering. Definitely a boys club.
