      Manager Trainee Interview

      18 Sept 2023
      Anonymous employee
      Brampton, ON
      Accepted offer
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sherwin-Williams (Fort Myers, FL) in Aug 2019

      Interview

      The interview wasn't that difficult, but they asked many behavioral questions that you should prepare for. I thought I did well enough to pass the phone screen, since I gave very good answers and they were what any employer would like to hear. I waited for feedback after the interview and they took so long just to tell me that I didn't pass. I just recently graduated from college, so i don't have too much experience and they don't give me a chance at all to prove myself. This makes no sense as I did everything correctly and gave good detailed answers. Waste of time applying to this place as they don't care about recent grads. They expect people to be perfect even though this position is not rocket science. I went to college thinking employers cared but they just don't. The fact that they say you need a bachelor degree is just a filler to make it look like they hire good people. I did my research on the company and practiced for hours just to get turned down. They don't care about my time and want amazing answers when they set specific time for the interview and use the most basic questions. They need to invest in there hiring process and stop wasting peoples time. They think there hiring the right people when its just people with a little bit more experience and little skill. At least give me actual feedback of why I wasn't hired instead of the same automated email saying you found someone with better qualifications. These recruiters need to train better and stop being so bias and picking out their favorite based on unrelated information on the position. The recruiters are not helping out the company instead making it worse. Don't recommend applying if you are a recent grad, as they just want a perfect individual with top tier skills for a low level position.

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Sherwin-Williams (Brampton, ON) in Aug 2023

      Interview

      I was an internal applicant who transferred from the store level and interviewed for the management positions. First was the phone interview with HR to tell if you were a good candidate. Standard get to know you questions, information about your background and some customer service based questions. 2nd interview was with the City manager, this interview was more in-depth with my experiences in the store level and what I hope to learn with my time here at SW. Last interview was with the District Manager, this was a shorter get to know you interview with less technical questions and more of a formality.

      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Sherwin-Williams (Newark, DE) in Mar 2023

      Interview

      Contacted by a HR person, had a phone interview then a store visit to learn more about the role. In person interview with the district manager. The first phone interview is not as important as the final in person interview with the district manager, I recommend that you ask if he does has any concerns.
