Pros

Great pay considering the job is relatively simple, amazing benefits even as part timer (matched 401k is huge), almost guaranteed advancement as long as you want and work for it, and the company almost encourages that you move around (offers relocation assistance for full-time and up), making sure you can gather as much experience as possible.

Cons

Hours are possibly unpredictable and can be as low as 20 hours a week depending on how busy your store is, advancement can be slow and you definitely have to work for it, and customer base is rather rough (painters and contractors), which can be intimidating for women.

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.
