Sherwin-Williams – “a good entry level position...but then what...”

Pros

good entry level job, and they advertise that. however, once you get out of the "entry level" range i feel there is a disconnect in career advancement, and a disconnect in salary. i guess that is part of the problem of working with big companies in general.

Cons

as mentioned above, career advancement/development is lacking. Employees are not rewarded for obtaining advanced degrees either by promotion or pay increase. lateral moves are the norm

Advice to Senior Management

work on helping to advance people careers...don't pigeon hole them into their position. SW is a massive company and cross-functionalization and diverse backgrounds are a benefit to a company. Also, reward people for having an advanced degree, even if you don't have one yourself.
