Vantaggi

Beautiful paint. Decent flooring. Nice sales and discounts for employees. Hours are GREAT depending on store - like floorcover - the work is manageable to flat out nonexistent at those stores. The hiring team is VERY nice. These lovely people make you want to work for Sherwin as they are your first point of contact before meeting the store managers and team. The company is almost a monopoly in the paint world so it's hard to avoid.

Svantaggi

Shady and/or primadonna contractors you need to babysit and placate. Delusional customers throwing tantrums for work that was done but they want to ditch paying the bill. Bonus if the work was done several months to a year prior and they are demanding a refund. Coworkers that make racist, sexist, and problematic DEI comments all day - but swear they AREN'T racist or sexist. Note: depending on the site the atmosphere is very "boys club" be aware if you are a woman and/or minority. Sites lacking proper equipment or unsafe conditions that are swept under the rug. Outdated technology. Lack of safety until something bad happens. Keep in mind bad doesn't mean the gunshot holes and bullet casings or caved in walls from a car crash. No, "bad" means someone's wallet is lost and they are convinced the "thieving illegal alien" contractors stole it so the building finally gets a security camera. Lack of staff some days - only one or two people working. Over time HELL and back breaking bucket lifting for paint stores. The company is almost a monopoly in the paint world so it's hard to avoid.

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.
