Pros

The offer remote work for some IT employees.

Cons

I have had various managers in my time at Sherwin. There seems to be a culture of exclusion for certain groups of people management deems unworthy and such sentiment are supported by HR. If you are looking for a place to grow professionally, Sherwin isn't the place for you. The IT department is white male dominated as well as management. If your existence lays within any other intersection be caution with accepting a job with this company. Their diversity and inclusion initiative is performative.

Pros

Bonus Training Promotions Relocatable Shareholder

Cons

I worked for SW for 40 years and was forced to retire due to a non work related injury. I could have lied and collected workers comp but my work ethic was too strong for that. I was not offered any reasonable accommodations for my situation and was basically told I needed to retire or I would lose my job. I was a model employee, trained hundreds in my career, had perfect audits etc. No retirement party, no invite to say farewell at Sales Meeting. It was a very sad ending to what should have been a proud accomplishment. I still have friends that work for SW. You know who you are! When I started the family values were amazing and I was proud to be a team member. Once the company became greedy and focused on acquiring the competition and just making shareholders happy things went downhill fast. Gone are the days when we had table meetings at headquarters. Gone are the days when employees are valued and praised not just compensated with bonuses that are earned by self sacrifice and exhaustion. I hope someone takes this to heart and makes a change.
