Vantaggi
The coworkers are exceptional. Everything else that I'm writing into this section is merely to fit the minimum word count.
Svantaggi
Upper level management, such as district/area managers, hamstring the stores to a point where there's no way to be successful in their eyes. They refuse to allow stores to adequately staff themselves to deal with the increase in how busy the stores get. Working in one of the fastest growing towns in the country, this lack of basic understanding of store needs has pushed their employees to a breaking point. Almost none of the daily managerial tasks are able to be performed because of customers needing to be attended to by all workers in the store. It's as if the company, at a corporate level, is wanting everyone to neglect their own personal lives and commit everything to the company. Having worked at Sherwin-Williams for almost 8 years, it's sad to see the decline of this company. Seeing how they clearly have no appreciation for their employees or their well-being. "Do more with less" is now the official mantra for this company, and anyone with any logical reasoning can understand that that isn't a sustainable model. To put it plainly, Sherwin-Williams is miserable to work for. You're only a number to them, and that's all they care about.
