Cons
Sherwin is good at getting you in as an MTP making you think your getting paid well. Once you get to Store Manager and realize the amount of time and effort your putting into your business you see your very underpaid. There will be many times when you will work 12 hr shifts by yourself with literally no one else in the stores. This makes it hard to use the bathroom or eat a lunch. They built a culture where your expected to deal with it which I was not ok with. I went nearly 2 months working 50+ hours because I had no assistant but was lucky enough to have a reliable part timer where's some managers have gone 5 months working 70+ hours 7 days a week. As you are by yourself your still expected to run a million dollar business with upper management hounding you about numbers. Sherwin is starting to lose many good people because of this. It's gotten to the point upper management is holding meetings trying figure out why they are losing these people when in my opinion it's not rocket science. Bonus structure is nice but depending on your store, location, and the state your store was left in by previous management, it can be very hard to obtain any extra bonus and may take up to 2 years before you see anything. With the base they pay you being very low this can make it seem like your working for nothing. Also the understaffing has gotten so bad they take almost anyone with any degree to just to fill a spot. My assistant was the farthest thing from business minded and told me she did not like sales which showed through her quality of work and attitude for the 10 months we worked together. This method of take what you can will eventually start bringing in the wrong type of people causing the good people to leave.
