Pros

Being open 7 days a week, it makes it easy to schedule appointments or vacations without using much time.

Cons

Once you are in a retail store, you can only work within a retail store. You will work 14 hour days with no break, help, or ability to go get lunch. There is no concern for work life balance. You might get stuck with Mondays and Thursdays off. If someone calls out, you will have to work. If you are sick, you still have to go in until they could find someone to cover. If there is a blizzard, you will still be required to open the store, even in a state of emergency. Depending on your manager, you may also be forced into unethical situations.

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.
