I am Sherwin-Williams
Elena Gonzalez, Training and Development Manager, Chemical Coatings Division. SW Employee Since 2005
My decision to join the Sherwin-Williams family was one of the best decisions I have ever made! My work here has provided me with many opportunities to challenge myself, step up to the plate, and make a difference. I've witnessed the power of people from different groups coming together to work toward a common goal and to make this Company better every day. The culture I've experienced is one that appreciates commitment and dedication, and it inspires me every day to strive for results.
Michael Yasukochi, District Manager, Cal-Central, Paint Stores Group. SW Employee Since 1989
I began my career as a college intern with The Sherwin-Williams Company. After graduation, I joined the MTP program; then placed as an Assistant Store Manager. I then managed four stores, each progressively larger in sales volume. My last position prior to my current Metro City Manager position was an Industrial and Marine Sales Representative for four years.
In my career, I was training Store Manager. Last year, one of my MTP trainees, who later progressed from an Assistant Store Manager to Branch Manager, won a President Club Spectrum of Excellence Award. Watching the satisfaction and excitement of this Manager winning this award after such a dedicated work effort and overcoming the many challenges became a highpoint in my career.

What makes me get up in the morning and feel I want to go to work is the need to improve, to become better every day. I like the constant challenge, the search for new horizons to become the best Company in the market in every single aspect, from relationships with our employees to the success in our business. The one who thinks that he/she has achieved everything is mediocre. Our thought has to be focused on continuous growth, goals and improvement so that we can all have better personal chances/opportunities and well-being.

Sherwin-Williams really relies on their employees to work above and beyond their potential, and I've had several opportunities to work on projects that have added value to our Company. However, in my case, I think the best example is the opportunity S-W has given me to go back to school. One of the fantastic things about Sherwin-Williams is they offer tuition reimbursement. For me, S-W has been proactive in providing me with a chance to make a difference. In giving me the financial help and support to go back to school, they've afforded me with long lasting lessons that will enable me to help make a difference in the future.
I love working for Sherwin-Williams because it's a Company that people respect. Not only do we have ethical standards that far exceed some of the corporate world's other members, but also we have a Company culture that promotes family, integrity, health, knowledge, philanthropy, and well-being. S-W presents us with so many opportunities for an enriched quality of life that it's hard not to be proud of our Company. Whether it's our 401k benefits or our excellent Wellness Program, it's easy to see that S-W really cares about investing in our futures and that makes me extremely proud to work here. Every time I see one of our stores or our logo, it makes me really proud to know that it represents a fantastic Company and a wonderful place to work!
Rich Collins, Manager Internal Audit, Loss Prevention, Corporate Division. SW Employee Since 2000
Sherwin-Williams has been good to me during the years that I have been with the Company. I have held a number of different positions over this time period, and each one has been enjoyable, while at the same time offering unique learning experiences. I am proud to be a part of the talented group of people that make up this organization, and I look forward to continuing to contribute to the ongoing success of this great Company.
