Pros

They start you off with a pretty good salary. I have been with the company for a little over a year and have already been promoted to a store manager. I have a great work/life balance. I just develop relationships with the customers and make sure that they keep on coming back. On top of a good salary you can earn bonus money and the better the sales the better the bonus money!

Cons

I can honestly say that I do not have any cons to my job. They give me the whole store to myself and I operate it with my Assistant Manager and my part-time employees.

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.
