Sherwin-Williams reviews

"boys club" so there is a lot of lack in diversity. Most of the people over sales reps are older waiting for retirement or just sand bagging. No one listens to your concerns even when they ask for your feedback. The culture is extremely toxic, you will go home feeling unfulfilled. Worked there for almost 10 years and haven't seen a company destroy its reputation in less that 4 years. Sales managers are like robots, they do not respond to you they give you the company juice. Store managers are expected to work 48 hours and assistants are at 44, I promise you can find a job that will have better work/life balance. No development at all so it's hard to ever know what your next move will be but will push the "many jobs available" that are not.

There’s not any real opportunity for advancement beyond City Manager. It’s actually a rarity to advance past a sales rep or store manager unless you move to another part of the country and, even then, it’s commonly limited to City Manager. All the bigwigs in the company are old white men so I’m curious to see what happens in ~10 years. They run the entire country’s marketing strategy as if they’re as well known as they are in Texas when, in fact, they could be doing a lot better in California. Kelly-Moore and Benjamin Moore are serious competitors that they don’t take seriously. They force stores and reps to compete against one another. They change reps’ budget goals at the end of the year when they’re doing exceptionally well so that they don’t have to pay as much bonus money. Store managers and assistants are hourly so their benefits are cheaper. The manager compensation is presented annually but it’s based on a 55 hour work week.
