Pros

The pay is decent. They focus on customer service. If you don't mind moving you can advance. They offer bonuses for managers and assistant managers.

Cons

They don't care about you or your family. They really don't care about injured employees. They only care when you are making them money. Most managers are exempt from overtime and can work 50 to 70 hours a week. I know from personal experience with an on the job injury that they do everything possible to not pay for care. They have a third party administration dealing with injured workers and they will delay and deny care and treatment even required surgery recommended by a doctor. It's pretty sorry when an employee works for them for 15 + years to end up getting treated like s#!t. They own many other paint brands and and most of the time you are competing against your own company for sales.

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
