Vantaggi

The pay is consistent and reliable, as is the business. The company offers an above average benefits package. Also, for most intents and purposes, Sherwin-Williams is extremely stable.

Svantaggi

There is not a good work life balance; one is expected to work lots of overtime. There is an environment of micromanagement that has gotten a lot more pervasive during this recession. The competition is much better poised to get the business of the professional painter and other wholesale accounts. Sherwin-Williams is way over priced, and upper management has unrealistic expectations of how much middle management can move the sales needle at the price points that they set. Also, the store's are never adequately staffed.

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.
