Pros

SW has the best compensation plan in the industry. I have worked for numerous paint cmpanies and feel that I am being as fairly compensated as I have ever been. The salary package is competitive, not really high, but competitive. The bonus plan is very lucrative and exceptionally well defined. The training that we recieve has to be the best in the industry. In two and a half years, I have been sent to three different training courses...all of which have been really helpful and well run. Also, the retirement plan/401K program provides up a 6% match, which has enabled me to save for retirement in a very real and significant way.

Cons

As a large corporation, there are times that you can feel lost in the vastness of the system.

Pros

Leadership training, flexible schedule if your store has the necessary staffing, 401k match

Cons

If you don't have staffing then you are required to work weekends consistently, Sales calls requirements keep getting higher and higher, incompetent corporate leadership. Pay is based on 44 hours worked weekly for assistants(48 for Store managers; leaves room for less work/life balance
