Pros
Comraderie and feeling of working for a company that appreciates the indiviual contributor as well as the Team. A company that focuses on the Safety of its employees as well as the Quality of its product. Good Benefits are a key element in the employment package at Sherwin-Williams. I have often been told by medical and dental professionals that our package is outstanding. 401K and Company funded peosion plan are benefits that other companies have either reduced or eliminated in recent years. Stock purchase is a perk as well. Salaries are monitored and remain competitive within the industry.
Cons
Recent economic conditions have forced an extremely lean and mean operation. Human Resources are required to do more with less. This can be overwhelming at times but i believe this is not an SW exclusive.
