Pros

Decent pay for right out of college and good experience. Easy to move up the ladder.

Cons

To many responsibilities and no clear vision. Assistants are expected to do almost everything in the store yet meet district and corporate sales expectations. Nothing is good enough even if you do hit your goals they are always looking at what you're doing wrong. Unrealistic goals and too many initiatives to follow with very little staff and hours. If you decide to work with Sherwin be prepared for long days with little to no reward for the time you put in and lots of micro-management from higher ups.

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.
