Part timers used to do the work manager and assistant don't want to do. Don't work here. - Anonymous employee Sherwin-Williams Employee Review

Gosh where do I begin. First of all, stores are ridiculously understaffed. For the size of this company and how profitable we are, why in the world do we only have 5 or less employees in a retail store? Stores that are open 12 hours a day Monday thru Friday and 8-10 hours on the weekends? They don't care if you go 8 hours without a break or going to the bathroom or eating. Also not a company you'll want to work for if you're a woman, especially if you have any semblance of self respect. God forbid you don't like being objectified by contractors/painters, if you say something they go crying to the store manager. And even though I've been working for the company twice as long as some of the men I work with no one thinks I have any product knowledge. If you ask for days off months in advance you most likely won't get it. (They'll tell you sure but then when the time comes they'll schedule anyways and you HAVE to be there.) Overall, horribly gender biased company, you'll work insane hours with no help and customers complaining about how you're "inefficient" when you're really just overwhelmed by working 12 hour days basically by yourself. Your reviews are dependent heavily on snobby rich homeowners who will whine about anything to get what they want. And because the managers are in charge if scheduling, they usually leave around 2 or 3 every day and take credit for the stores success even though they rarely leave the office. Oh, and if I get asked to clean the mens bathroom one more time I might snap. All the grunt work the manager and assistant manager don't want to do, they'll pile on you. (Like big orders, over 80 gallons, which no one should have to do by themselves.) Moral of the story, just save yourself the frustration of working here because you'll never do anything right in their eyes anyways.
