Flexible hours and professional.
Assistant Store Manager (Current Employee), Broussard, LA – May 15, 2013
Pros: paid vacations, 401k match up to 6 percent, lenient scheduling.
Cons: limited store control due to corporate hierarchy.
I thoroughly enjoy working for this company. They expect a lot and accurately compensate for it. I have learned a lot through local SW training and out of state SW training. Work days can sometime be very fast paced hectic, while somedays move a little more slowly. I have learned to adapt and use my time wisely given the current situation.

Good place to work
Lead Warehouser (Current Employee), Columbus, MS – May 14, 2013
Sherwin-Williams has been a great experience for me and it has given me the ability to learn something new. Management is great and very helpful. The hardest part of this job is being part time while trying to take care of a family. I am looking for a full time job so that I don't have to worry about the well being of my wife and child.

Each day is always different. I have had some great managers as well as a terrible one. I suppose that happens with any job. The most enjoyable part of the job for me is the relationship forming with regular customers.
