Pros

The benefits that SW provides is the best in the industry. For 6% of your salary a year SW will match 6% on 401k and 6% into your pension fund. SW is all over the world, there are endless opportunities to travel and move to another part of the country if you so desire. You can support a store as a PT, FT, Asst Manager, Manager, Outside Sales Rep, Tech Rep, or If you don't want to work in a store you can work internal support. Accounting, Insides Sales, Labs, New Product Development, Testing, Color Resources, Computer Tech, Auditors, etc. We are diverse and will maintain in a economy that has seen better days. The bonus plans for store management is excellent if you can have a good year. If you work your tail off you can get compensated for all the hard work.

Cons

Base pay is lower then some paint companies. Getting some things done through corporate america can be a pain.

Pros

Leadership training, flexible schedule if your store has the necessary staffing, 401k match

Cons

If you don't have staffing then you are required to work weekends consistently, Sales calls requirements keep getting higher and higher, incompetent corporate leadership. Pay is based on 44 hours worked weekly for assistants(48 for Store managers; leaves room for less work/life balance
