Pros

Good pay and good benefits.

Cons

Weekend hours are unjustifiable,8 to 5 on Saturday and 10 to 4 on Sunday, very unfair to employees who have families or are church goers. Upper management is very ungrateful and disrespectful to store employees. My manager has made just as much money for SW in a 1.5 mil store as most 3 mil and up stores do in his 21 years of service and he is treated as if he is worthless. Price is always going to be an issue.

Pros

A positive work environment. The best co-workers I have had so far in my career worked with me at Sherwin. I also worked under an amazing management team. There is a lot of room for career growth. I worked for Sherwin for about 3.5 years. I started as a contracted lab technician, then I was hired full time as an R&D Associate Chemist. I quickly worked my way up to R&D Chemist within a year of being hired full time. The department I worked in was very fast paced, however, I know there are many other groups that move at a much slower pace with longer timelines. This would make it much easier to manage the workload.

Cons

Working with marketing was challenging at times. We would regularly receive big requests a day before they needed something. This would pose a challenge when you had other priorities to attend to. The pay was average. I do think it could have been slightly higher for all of the job responsibilities given to the chemists in my group specifically. The workload was overwhelming at times.
