Pros

Great pay and benefits in a retail field. Are praised for what you accomplish not what recognition your boss takes from you. Career opportunities are wide open for you, if you are looking for a different job with in the company it can be easily obtained. Sherwin Williams has a online job posting system and anywhere in the country a job opens up that job will be posted online for you to apply to.

Cons

Hours can be long at the management level, can sometimes be hard to get days you want off. People are traded fairly but some managers can be difficult to work along side with.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
