Pros

Great benefits. Job security, their training program. Something new everyday. Never opened past 6. usually get tim off when needed.

Cons

Budgets are usually un realistic. they tell you how many hrs your employees can work If you don't get overtime they want you to work as many hours as possible. if you get over time they won't let you. if you are a minority or female you get promoted really fast. Seen someone get promoted that was down in sales. Also seen someone get promoted that was only at position for 1 year. They usually say two years. They have no set requirements for promotions it's who ever they have worked with before or if they were a MTP.. They want you to run a store with the least amount of people as possible. get positive feed back from customers they never say a word. But get 1 bad one and well...

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.
