Pros

With the right crew and the right contractors it can be decent The pay is above average for a retail position They're helpful towards newbies in the paint business You get to know your coworkers and the contractors pretty well

Cons

The store is open 7 days a week with no down time You are forced into becoming a keyholder immediately with meager benefits but major downsides Stores are down in number and need more people to help run them The Wrong manager can completely tank your experience The color match machine needs to be improved pronto

Pros

Good benefits that cover general healthcare, dental, vision, and medications. Good work environment with nice people. Understanding leadership. Good food for breakfast and lunch. Willing to provide assistance upon request.

Cons

Training felt rushed. Pressure to meet a daily quota of completed requests despite cases of limited ability due to amount of info provided by customers. Multiple systems/search engines to use, which can be slow or have incomplete information. Workload can vary, so you might have downtime that feels boring without music or background videos.
