Pros

For the work I did, the pay was ok, better than working in a grocery store or at Walmart. Everybody I worked directly with or interacted with that was associated with the company was great.

Cons

I graduated college and have a job offer at a competitor for a full time management position. District Manager told me "they'll work you to death over there, you should stay with Sherwin". When I asked what kind of offer he had for me, was told to stick around as a part time employee and see what developed! What a joke!

Pros

easy job with little work load and decent customer base

Cons

they cut my 401k for 6 months with no mention of when it was coming back, terrible CEO that everyone hated who cut jobs to save money for a new headquarter that we absolutely did NOT need, bought a random argentinian paint company to monopolize an already dying business and put the cost back onto the consumer by charging way more for paint. They also give discounts to national brands and apartment complexes that are literally less than what the store charges for paint and forces us to sell to them, losing money in the process ( for the individual stores but making them money since they own the whole manufacturing and distribution process and up-charge stores for products they require us to sell ). Overall climbing up the ladder is easy but upper management suck and will make any good hearted, hardworking manager quit in the long run.
