Vantaggi

Great to gain experience with a large, established sales company, or in my case, open my eyes to what has become the norm for a career in retail.

Svantaggi

Stores are ALWAYS understaffed - district managers seem to focus on pinching pennies at the expensive of the employees. This creates an atmosphere of employees feeling far from refreshed and energetic. Managers are expected to work 48 hours a week and assistants 44/week. Hard to have a life outside because of the hour requirements. Management at the district and higher levels are simply yes men, passing along ideas that are usually out of touch with individual store operation and customer base. Only closed 4 days a year, a real slap in the face to Holidays such as July 4, Labor Day, etc. They claim high level of value and culture, but it's a cover for typical corporate greed.

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.
