      There is way, way too much micromanagement going on throughout the organization.

      Pros

      The pay is consistent and reliable, as is the business. The company offers an above average benefits package. Also, for most intents and purposes, Sherwin-Williams is extremely stable.

      Cons

      There is not a good work life balance; one is expected to work lots of overtime. There is an environment of micromanagement that has gotten a lot more pervasive during this recession. The competition is much better poised to get the business of the professional painter and other wholesale accounts. Sherwin-Williams is way over priced, and upper management has unrealistic expectations of how much middle management can move the sales needle at the price points that they set. Also, the store's are never adequately staffed.

      You are very well trained, however you are given almost no opportunity to advance. The pay does not match the knowledge.

      Pros

      You will as a full time employee receive a lot of time off. You have job security because you are so well trained. If you enjoy working with people than it is the job for you.

      Cons

      You are not paid enough considering the amount of knowlege you have. Corporate loves their college kids, they are given every opportunity that high school only graduates are denied. You may set in one spot and not advance for years.
