Pros

Nothing, I guess it beats slavery. So much better opportunity elsewhere though, keep looking for other jobs

Cons

Retail management. Plain and simple, with all the problems of a horribly old fashioned old boys as the team. Stressful and the constant yelling from your manager doesn't help. The physical harassment didn't help either, let alone sexual.

Pros

Good training programs to understand the company more for employees.

Cons

The company is fairly Caucasian based. I was the only non-Caucasian at training with all the other management trainees. It didn't seem like a very good job to develop a management career. The position was more of mixing paint and carrying it to customer's car each day. Very disappointing job coming out of university. Although the annual salary may be high, but the working hours are very demanding. 6:30 AM - 6PM shifts are frequent.

Pros

Listen to the reviews. Sherwin has a money first employees last culture. Good if your only motivation in life is to make money

Cons

Everything. Management, culture, pay (below average for entry level in part and full time roles) harassment from managers and contractors. Hr is terrible, you will either fall in line or be let go. They hire MTs to fire half of them, just FYI.
