Pros

Training was decent for Assistant Manager. The company needs to be careful of who They put in charge of interns and manager trainees. The wrong person can give the employee a bad impression of the compAny. In my opinion no one should work over 40 hours a week. Instead hire more people. Learn good retention strategies and train well. Show your employees recognition for their hard work in the stores.

Cons

I also don’t believe lead gen sales calls are very effective. Most people are skeptical of sales calls. Just have good conversations with people in the stores and take the time to visit their job sites. Also, this is what the sales reps are for.

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.
