Pros

They pay well, especially if your in management and meet your quarterly sales goals. Super easy to rise to upper level positions if you work hard and meet their requirements. They have a great HR department. And they truly care about their customers and make a great paint product. I also appreciated how seriously they took to training their employees.

Cons

Some of their sales goals can be unrealistic, especially for newer stores. The stress to meet sales goals is eventually why I resigned (along with some of the difficulties at the beginning of the Global pandemic of COVID in 2020). As much as they are all about safety, a lot of stores don't have security systems (again depends on the area) to protect the merchandise.

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.
