Pros

Working at Sherwin-Willams HQ, job security is excellent overall. They are also fairly flexible with schedules and provide reimbursement for certifications and college coursework - both of which are often important to young professionals as well as managers looking to advance thru MBA programs. On the business side, the culture is very lean and efficient, while on the IT side things are run much like a mom and pop shop at times - this allows a lot of freedom and leeway in how you accomplish goals and learn new things. People are generally warm and open to answering questions and sharing their knowledge.

Cons

Sherwin-Williams is an old fashioned manufacturing company. They are an enormous global enterprise. With those things naturally comes baggage like bureaucracy and resistance to change - a lot of processes are in place to provide organization and control. Though these often help in providing a consistent environment across the enterprise, they also often hinder new exciting benefits and getting seemingly simple tasks pushed through the system. You won't find the flexibility or total freedom you find working for smaller employers. In summary, they are somewhat monolithic in their standards and old-fashioned in their procedures - you will need to be able to work within these corporate traits in order to successfully move things forward and impact change in the enterprise in the future.

Pros

Leadership training, flexible schedule if your store has the necessary staffing, 401k match

Cons

If you don't have staffing then you are required to work weekends consistently, Sales calls requirements keep getting higher and higher, incompetent corporate leadership. Pay is based on 44 hours worked weekly for assistants(48 for Store managers; leaves room for less work/life balance
