"Sherwin Williams is an excellent stepping stone to begin your sales career. They offer support and training that may not be seen by other companies during the start of hour career."

"I have been with Sherwin-Williams for about three years now. It is a decent company to work for, that gives benefits and use to offer decent base pay but now they need to up their pay to keep up with the times. You will learn a lot of things here and can take the lessons you learn to your future endeavors whether they are with the company or not. You will have a demanding schedule so be prepared if you choose to work here."

"Compensation is good for all employees, and the stock options and benefits are good. If you're at Sherwin for multiple decades, they will serve you well. However, in the short term, especially for interns, there is very little room for growth or raises. Moving around in the company is difficult and there is very limited upward mobility."

"Sherwin-Williams is an excellent company to work for. They offer great benefits and their training is second to none. They do however require a very lengthy work week and they have a difficult time keeping part time staff employed. This can be frustrating at times, but again overall they are a great company."

"I've worked for SW for over a decade now, I started as a co-op. It was a great entry level opportunity and I figured I would be promoted once I graduated. I got hired as an entry level software developer, however, there was no promotion after I got my degree in Computer Science. Furthermore, despite getting reviews of exceeds expectations for 6 years in a row the company has yet to promote me to even a mid level developer. Overall SW does not pay competitive salaries."

"Sherwin-Williams is a paint and coatings company dedicated to helping both residential and commercial customers. The company is diverse with good employees however there is a lack of team leadership. Overall the job is alright for someone entering their career. Many have had success at the company."

"Sherwin Williams is a great company to work for if you can wade through all of the corporate nonsense. Promotions are given based on favoritism and not worthiness. But if you can make it through this then everything else is great!"

"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."

"good company to work for."
