Vantaggi

Good Retirement Package 401K and Pension

Svantaggi

Not rewarded for hard work or knowledge. If you don't network with the right people, you aren't getting promoting or decent raises. People who fail and cost the company money fail upward to better positions, rather than lose their job or responsibility. Zero to no opportunities for advancement outside of Cleveland. If you don't agree with with the ideas of management your going nowhere. Grade school mentality when people are identified for promotions, If your popular with the managers you can go far even if more qualified, educated, and knowledgeable people are competting for the same jobs or promotions. Chemistry courses are required in the technical labs for jobs that won't need that type of education, while no management courses or experience are required for management positions. Some older chemist and scientist only have high school educations, while newer people are required to have at least 16 credit hours of college chemistry. Communincations are exteremely poor throughout the company. Salaries of Grade levels are kept Top Secret! Extremely poor medical benefites. (Aetna medical insurance is terrible!!!)

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.
