Great experience, useful for later careers. - Anonymous employee Student Edge Painting Employee Review

-Hire people with minimal experience -Equal opportunity employer -Good leadership

A con is that there were no substitute worker for situations where you may not be able to work. You will still be expected to show up to work if you are injured or sick

As a branch manager for 3 years looking back I'd have to say that I learned more working with SEP then I ever have in a classroom. To be candid, while interviewing for positions out of college I had far more to relate to my prospective employer pulling from my experience with this company then I did at the University of Washington. Student Edge Painting gave me the opportunity to genuinely run my own business while also providing the support needed as a first timer in this type of endeavor. This is a great opportunity for someone who is genuinely ready to stretch their comfort zones and challenge their capacity to balance a lot of tasks at once. Looking back, I met some of my greatest friends while working with SEP. Not to mention qualifying to go on an all expense paid week long vacation in Mexico.

If you're looking for a m-f 9:00-5:00 with an uninterrupted hour for lunch this is probably not for you. You are truly responsible for everything that happens on the job and like a friend of mine says "nobody cares more about your business then you" so don't expect (though you'll probably find some great employees) that things will go smoothly without your attention.
