Pros

Solid company to work for. At corporate, if you work hard you can advance, somewhat. A lot of people start out in customer services jobs, which helps them to learn the different aspects of the business. I see many people come from those jobs to higher level jobs. People are treated respectfully. Benefits and retirement plans are good. One of the better vacation allowances still around these days, probably. Upper management makes an effort to keep employees engaged and informed.

Cons

Entry jobs out in the field (stores, distribution, plants) may have less opportunity for advancement, longer hours, and lower pay.

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.
