Typically I begin the day off by fronting all of the items in the store to ensure if not that atleast our store is presented to be full. I then fill the tinter station so if we happen to get involved in a rush we want have to stop in the middle of an order to refill it. Then i stock and organize the front as well as the warehouse trying to utilize all – more...  free time. Help customers, make deliveries, apply payments to accounts and make suggestions as necessary. I've learned alot that i can use in my own personal endeavors wish is the most enjoyable part of my job. Only thing i feel is a problem is racial tension that tends to be overlooked if allowed. – less

Short term thinkers. Poor leadership. Systematically eliminate long term employees.

Enjoyed the company and my co workers.was able to complete my task with the help of co workers and really enjoyed the job

Sherwin Williams has great people working for them. They always strive to achieve the best customer service for all their employees. There benefits and retirement plans are fantastic. Overall I have enjoyed my years working for them.

Very productive and customer oriented. Management was great and fair. Willing to train.

I worked for Sherwin-Williams Distribution Center for 17 years. It was like going to college for that long. S-W wanted everyone to cross-train, and I loved learning all the office jobs. I even learned the warehouse jobs by working with the ISO 9000 team.

Sherwin-Williams has great benefits. Their vacation and holidays are the best I have had the pleasure – more...  to get.

I grew up with the people I worked with at S-W. They had a great retention rate. Probably based on the team atmosphere they encouraged. – less

Excellent company to work for. Great management personnel and great benefit package.

I enjoyed the friendships that I made while working at SWP. Employees and customers helped get me excited about going to work. I learned about inventory control, the P&L statement and various other reports, management skills, and countless products. Could not advance very far within the company without a degree. Hardest part of the job was sales calls – more...  when I knew most every company's paint is basically the same as SWP. – less

I loved the people that I worked with in the market I was in. If you have a college degree then you could go really far in the company. The hours, pay, work life balance, and opportunity for advancement is great.

good company but needs more stability with hours and employees

i was hired at SW to be the Decorative Product Specialist, and quickly found that SW seemed to be unintentionally phasing out the position. (No training, very few hours to work on required tasks each day, literally no access to computer systems due to part-time status.) A shame because my coworkers were amazing and the store was GREAT!

If you want to work a lot, this is a good job for you. The day typically tends to be long, especially for management. The manager will generally work well over 50 hours a week, while assistants will generally work at least 44 hours a week. However, that number during the busy season can spike dramatically, with no increase in paid time to compensate. – more...  You can build great relationships with contractors, but you might also work with some people you might really dislike. It can be a good job, and the experience varies from store to store, but I just need a career change. – less

I never thought they will close, we had been in business for a long time even though we changed names.

Working for Sherwin Williams was an absolute joy, I was tasked with often opening and closing the store and often felt good about the amount of responsibility I had been intrusted with, I would have stayed with Sherwin Williams if it had not been for hours being cut and always being promised I will get into the management program, after a few years – more...  of having that dangled over my head I said goodbye to Sherwin Williams. – less

I went to work for Sherwin Williams with no former knowledge or paints, stains, or sundries. Throughout my time with Sherwin Williams I received great opportunities and raises. I learned the ins and outs of all the products that Sherwin Williams carries along with the product knowledge of their competitors. The hardest part of my job was realizing that – more...  I would never move past where I was without a formal education. The most enjoyable part of my job was working with DIY customers and contractors, and providing them with the knowledge and products they needed to complete their task at hand. – less

Great company, not much room for advancement. Hours are too long, feel lost in the company.
