Team work, personal and professional growth

Not really a con but the intense focus on customer service forces you to think of different ways to meet customer requests.

The pay is good. They have good benefits. It keeps me very busy. Good work life balance. I have my own space. They are very concerned about your well being and will go the extra mile to ensure your work environment is very comfortable to work in. Very professional people with amazing work ethic.

Cons

Adapting to the internal changes of management. Lots of info to know so always having to stay on top of everything.

Pros

*Decent bank-like hours *Managers are pretty cool and flexible *If you plan ahead your day will be much easier *No curve ball events, you pretty much know what your week will look like *You will inadvertently learn a lot about paints & other products *Deliveries allow you to travel your area and get away from the store environment for a while

Cons

Brace yourself *Sales Reps love to please & cater to idiot contractors who don't know what they are doing. So huge, ridiculous orders are sometimes expected to be done "Right Now!" *Company wants to compete with the "Big Boys", but refuses to use it's resources to do so *You have no control over the air in your store. It is controlled by people in Pittsburgh so if you are working at a store in the south, expect in the summer time for your store to be in the 80s. *Any mistake you make expect higher management to caution you, but when they make mistakes for your store you usually get a "Deal with it" type of answer. * Customers never understand how paint stores operate. Expect 5-6 matches being expected to be finished "Right Now!" *Some other store managers sometimes drag their feet when it comes to transfers. *A lot of pointless training and meetings. *Blaming process is a trickle-down effect. *Higher up management expects you and your PAINT store to be 100% spotless. *Passive-aggressive culture in the higher up management. *Sales Reps never answer their phones when you need them. *Pricing is never correct in your system. *Computer system is very outdated.
