Pros

401k medical paid vacation opportunity to move up if you work hard and have a college degree.

Cons

Overworked Managers work 48 hours as a minimum Understaffed Fight with hub dispatch to get simple orders delieved Fight with credit about why charge accounts are locked out Fight with DM about why you aren't spending 2 hours looking for painters in home depots parking lot Fight with rude obnoxious painters about things that are usually their fault ie peeling paint isn't the paints fault you put latex over oil! I'm not paging you to fix it. Doing 50 stupid pointless sales calls every week because your sales force stinks.

Pros

The company takes time to make sure that all employees are up to date on the latest and greatest product offerings. Furthermore their training (although boring and tedious) is helpful when you are trying to help a homeowner. This is a service job so you will be dealing with customers but in general Sherwin seems to promote the right people to run the stores.

Cons

This is a large corporation and you will fill out paperwork... a lot of paperwork for everything you do. Furthermore, even at the lowest level you are expected to be able to juggle tasks that may far outweigh your pay grade (e.g. large orders for industrial coatings and the like)
