Vantaggi

The pay and the benefits are not bad.

Svantaggi

Where to begin..Lets start with the unrealistic sales call system. This ties up the store manager and the assistant. The company preaches being proactive but then if any customer gets upset about anything you are supposed to drop everything and respond immediately to appease them. The customers are becoming spoiled and unrealistic but it does not matter even if it stretches your resources to there limits and beyond. The attempts at saving money by cutting staff are ridiculous. It is also dangerous to keep one employee running a store by themselves. we climb ladders, operate lifts, handle hazardous chemicals but the numbers suggest that it is still okay to cut back on staff? HR appears to be meeting their own quota and seeking to offer opportunities to those that are not Caucasian and male. This is of course just an observation based on opportunities that were offered to some people and not others but is worth mentioning for those looking to move up. Companies management seems to promote favorites when not meeting quotas. If constant multitasking, stress, taking on huge loads of responsibilities, getting blamed for things you have no control of and remaining bright eyed and bushy tailed through it all is something you enjoy then this is the job for you.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
