This is no office job. You work register/warehouse/office. You mix paint daily. - Manager Trainee Sherwin-Williams Employee Review

Pros

Lots of nice people. Lots to learn. 6% 401k matching is fantastic. High quality benefits, but you definetly pay for them.

Cons

The job description can be misleading. This is no high level position. You are running a store with an Assistant Manager, A Store Manager, and other employees. You get down and dirty, mix paint, and check out customers all day. After you do this long enough they place you at a store as an Assistant Manager. Then you get paid the same as you do as a MT, but you are bonus eligible, which you can make a grand or so a quarter typically, but all depending on your stores performance. You can get 0 bonus if you do not hit the budget set for you. Also this "yearly salary" is accounting for you to work 44 hours a week. You are an hourly employee as a MT and Assistant manager. The last 4 hours of your week are scheduled overtime and you are paid time and a half, which if done every week consistently adds up to the 49,000. If you take vacation you are losing out on your last hours which means you are missing out on your highest paid hours. Store managers are salary but expected to work 48 hours a week. Often they end up working more than that for no extra pay.

Pros

Leadership training, flexible schedule if your store has the necessary staffing, 401k match

Cons

If you don't have staffing then you are required to work weekends consistently, Sales calls requirements keep getting higher and higher, incompetent corporate leadership. Pay is based on 44 hours worked weekly for assistants(48 for Store managers; leaves room for less work/life balance
