Vantaggi

stability works with school sched great for college students dont have to work nights

Svantaggi

-not a lot of advancement for the right reason... more of a "who you know" situation -very bias about hiring (gender and race) -terrible pay for the amount of work expected -similar jobs at home depot or lowes are paid much better but the open stores hours are longer -district managers call all the shots in the stores but are very out of touch with what really is going on in the stores. they dont know names or faces behind large accounts, they visit the store 2-3 times per yr but yet know whats best. They would rather focus on issues that do not matter, such as having a radio on in the back warehouse, rather than why we just lost a customer because sherwin williams just increased their pricing again, or that 2 of 4 paint shakers are broke, or we are very understaffed. -Seriously work somewhere else... or anywhere BUT the Texoma District!

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.
