Working at Sherwin-Williams in Greenville, SC: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Greenville, SC Area

"I joined Sherwin Williams through the M/T program, they sell it as a way to grow great experience in management, take control of a store, control P&Ls and work with high budget clients. All with the possibility of growing at a fair pace, with competitive pay, great benefits and a great work culture. Sherwin williams M/T and Tams Programs are talked up alot more than they actually are. These are glorified retail assistant jobs, with sketchy ways of paying salary, while also somehow fluctuating each week that salary you get with hours you work, but "you're not paid hourly". On top of this their pay is genuinely not competitive to other companies, unless you'r comparing this job to retail assistants such as autozone, o'reily auto parts or other small retailers. Yes, their benefits are fantastic and could be compared to high blue collared jobs such as production managers and so on. But, they sell this in a way that its better than most companies (when is competitive but not substantially better); and to try and cover up more that the pay is not great. They will also try and distract you with baseball tickets, Christmas parties or others things to sweeten life up. Or give salary increases, but once you break numbers down its honsetly just to try and keep people happy, because they arent paying enough. Systems and structure within stores are extremely out dated, unorganized and unfortunately inefficient. Corporate and management does not care about making your work easier, all they care about it making the best dollar. They don't believe in the idea or making employees lives better to get a better quality of work. Currently the labor Market is down and they do not pay their labor employees enough, as an M/T or Tams you will be left to pick up the slack with no help. Yes, as managers we need to be involved get in early and stay late, but they will take this to no end and use it. If you have high goals and are motivated you'll get half of what you want here."
