Pros

-Pay for lower level employees is quite good for the work required -Paint store work is relatively fun -Meet some amazing people on both sides of the counter -Stock options available to all staff -Benefits are decent

Cons

-You are not a person. You are a dollar amount. -Management positions pay far too little for the responsibilities you take on. -Length of service means nothing. -Everything is against their policy, so they can overlook things for people they like, and fire those they don't. -Talk really big about safety and morale, but do nothing meaningful to advance things -Management has forced overtime of 44-48 hours per week. -Very unapproachable middle- and upper-management

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.
