Pros
The pay and benefits are really good. You also get quarterly bonuses based on budget goals. There's also a lot of opportunity for promotion after you've been there for a year or so.
Cons
The job is pretty stressful. You're expected to know anything and everything there is to know about commercial and residential painting and they don't really teach you much of it on the job. You either learn it from working with it or reading spec sheets in your free time. It's much more of a sales job than they make it seem like it is. As an assistant you're expected to make 20-30 sales calls a week which can be anything from calling to check up on an existing customer or cold calling someone to ask for business. District management is pretty hands off. If you get a bad store manager to work with you won't have a good time.
