Pros

I started as an intern then stayed on as a part-time sales associate. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I like working at Sherwin Williams. It's a very casual work environment, and I love the people I work with, which is a pretty diverse group of individuals.

Cons

It seems like the only way to get information about what's going on in the company is through the grapevine, so there's a lot of gossip and talking behind people's backs. It also seems like the upper management change things simply for the sake of changing them, which is just an inconvenience for the people who work in the retail stores. The uniformity of the stores can be a positive, but sometimes it's just a nuisance and impractical.

Pros

It's a relaxed environment and the management tends to treat employees equally despite amount of time worked there.

Cons

If you start off as the weekend worker, they expect you to ALWAYS do it from that day forward, so it's hard to get weekends off.

Pros

401k and Pension Plan are great

Cons

Things are done on a need to know basis. Once you get in with the company, there are a lot of politics and red tape that prevent you from acheiving your budget. They will tell you there is no Bonus CAP, when in reality they limit your total potential earnings by not allowing you to open new accounts in certain areas and by not allowing you to call on certain customers.
