Pros

Was a MTP (manager training position) and then placed as an assistant sales manager in a fairly large store. The pay is good if you are in management, the benefits are great, and even a little bit of paid vacation.

Cons

The store is successful if you have a driven, hard nosed store manager. If you have a store manager that lets employees get away with mistakes and doesn't help develop them, the store will suffer. The hours aren't glorious, required to work 44 as an assistant and you will work saturdays and sundays if your store is short staffed.

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.
