Pros

Driver's wages are higher here than elsewhere. Able to be home weekly, if not twice a week. New equipment is repaired and maintained on a timely basis. Able to actually plan for retirement. Pay is direct deposit and NEVER a bounced check! The trucking industry is full of slow to pay and low paying companies. This is not a trucking company. It is a paint company that has it's own trucks.

Cons

Bureaucracy tends to slow progress in the company. Problems show up and can take 9-12 months to be addressed. During the busy, summer season your weekend can be as little as 34 hours off. (I would rather be busy than not in this economy.) Most of my concerns I can live with and do not interfere with my day to day job functions. I do not recommend this job to anyone without explaining EXACTLY what is involved.

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.
