Pros

-the pay for a recent college grad, especially one who majored in the humanities -work that is laborious, but doesn't take over your entire livelihood. (A lot of millennials want their work to define them. Personal preference, but I like a separation of 'work' and 'play' ) -good benefits -stable company, plenty of opportunities

Cons

-As a woman, I can foresee having an issue down the road with having children and working long hours at retail, but to be fair that's really with any job at any company. -Having to relocate to get promotions, can be tricky if you plan on being a homeowner

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.
