Pros

The job is difficult and you will be forced to learn many different skills in order to stay ahead of the curve.

Cons

Sometimes long but often very erratic hours while facing difficult customers. Painstakingly critical middle management offers negative feedback whenever convenient, and provides little in the way of tools to get the job done (i.e., extra part-time workers, etc. As far as warehousing goes, often a store would run out of space for inventory due to the limited square footage of the initial warehouse)

Pros

They pay pretty well considering.

Cons

Don't count on the bonus and don't be a victim to the "salary" amount they promise you. Sherwin-Williams bases your pay on what they call "hourly-salary" which means you are required to work a minimum amount of overtime each week. If you work less then that overtime (generally 48 hours/week) then you don't actually receive your full paycheck. Your annual salary is calculated on you actually working that 48 hour minimum work week. Know that going in and you will be much less disappointed.
