Pros

theres a lot to learn and getting to meet the contractors daily gives you the chance to learn and grow as a professional in this field.

Cons

even if you have a great review your raise is somewhere between $0.10- $0.50. you only have the opportunity to move up in the company these days if you have a four year degree. in anything. they hire on new graduates with no experience in this field and give them high wages and growth opportunity but ignore the people who have been in the company for years. because of cost being cut stores are understaffed and the hours are stretched thin. to many pt/ft employees stuck working alone in the stores. the hub system is faulty and takes too long. things were smoother when stores had their own trucks.

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.
