Pros

competitive pay, upward advancement opportunities available if willing to put in the work, benefits, culture, sales support, career development (learn skills that will be applicable in any industry), opportunity to achieve lucrative bonuses, supportive management, ability to develop close relationships with employees and customers.

Cons

can get stuck if not willing to put in work, work/life balance at times (this is the case with virtually any publicly held company). Not a lot of cons, you get what you put in.

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.
