Pros

Comraderie and feeling of working for a company that appreciates the indiviual contributor as well as the Team. A company that focuses on the Safety of its employees as well as the Quality of its product. Good Benefits are a key element in the employment package at Sherwin-Williams. I have often been told by medical and dental professionals that our package is outstanding. 401K and Company funded peosion plan are benefits that other companies have either reduced or eliminated in recent years. Stock purchase is a perk as well. Salaries are monitored and remain competitive within the industry.

Cons

Recent economic conditions have forced an extremely lean and mean operation. Human Resources are required to do more with less. This can be overwhelming at times but i believe this is not an SW exclusive.

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.
