Pros

With the right crew and the right contractors it can be decent The pay is above average for a retail position They're helpful towards newbies in the paint business You get to know your coworkers and the contractors pretty well

Cons

The store is open 7 days a week with no down time You are forced into becoming a keyholder immediately with meager benefits but major downsides Stores are down in number and need more people to help run them The Wrong manager can completely tank your experience The color match machine needs to be improved pronto

Pros

A positive work environment. The best co-workers I have had so far in my career worked with me at Sherwin. I also worked under an amazing management team. There is a lot of room for career growth. I worked for Sherwin for about 3.5 years. I started as a contracted lab technician, then I was hired full time as an R&D Associate Chemist. I quickly worked my way up to R&D Chemist within a year of being hired full time. The department I worked in was very fast paced, however, I know there are many other groups that move at a much slower pace with longer timelines. This would make it much easier to manage the workload.

Cons

Working with marketing was challenging at times. We would regularly receive big requests a day before they needed something. This would pose a challenge when you had other priorities to attend to. The pay was average. I do think it could have been slightly higher for all of the job responsibilities given to the chemists in my group specifically. The workload was overwhelming at times.
