Pros

-Started working with zero paint, tinting, or retail knowledge, management was understanding and supportive. Allowing me to grow and receive good pay. -Meeting different people, networking with contractors and interior designers, farmers and so on.. - Feeling part of the community, selling paint and working with contractors for projects in your town.

Cons

-Those holding bachelors who enroll in the management training program receive unfair attention and promotions opposed to those without schooling yet have more history and knowledge in comparison. (as mentioned here numerous times) -company infrequently holds pointless and childish "role-playing" meetings, requiring employees to sometimes drive hours to attend them.

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
