Sherwin-Williams reviews

-Not moving up with out a degree. Maybe to assistant manager....maybe -Many people find it difficult to sell "paint". Paint is not a glamorous product. It has a lot of complaint and problems associated with it, and the prices keep going up. -I have been here 4 years and the communication and tension between upper management and store employees/sales reps is only getting worse. -Stay too long and you will turn into a "Sherwin Robot", (which some people are fine with)

The downside to this company is the wage is very low for the work that is required of you. There is constant testing on product knowledge without very little help from upper management. Also, there are no study guides that are immediately available for the employees to brush up on their product knowledge. The district has strict deadlines and expect you to have completed the training with or without understand their products. There are no benefits and no incentives that would help the employee engage and maintain a level of interest with the company. Stores are short from staff members and also have extremely tight budgets. The sales that are required from the stores are generally impossible to meet. There is a lot of segregation in the company usually separated by ranks. It would help if the company would work together harmoniously in a group and receive more praise from upper management instead of having the information trickle down. Bonus checks are only offered to Assistant Managers and Managers in stores. It would help if they were distributed with everyone according to level in the store including part-timers and full-timers since the Assistants and Managers are not the only ones running the store. Manual labor can be very demanding at times depending on what store you are located which can cause back pain if you work at a very busy store. Spanish is a must since most of your clients will be contractors.
