Atmosphere... It's About People

Step inside Sherwin-Williams’ Cleveland Tech Center and get an immediate sense of what drives our success.

An Intensity of Purpose in a Relaxed Atmosphere

Employees rushing to meetings. Engaged in intense experimentation. Animated over technical breakthroughs. Or just sipping coffee in the lunchroom, contemplating the current project... It's a casual work environment. Casual in the sense that suits and ties are optional. Opinions and spontaneity are encouraged.

Run on Respect and Friendship

We value different viewpoints and new perspectives, and respect the knowledge each employee adds to the "intellectual pool". Every one of us is encouraged to make meaningful contributions... And the diversity within each work team promotes dialogue between members. Though occasionally, our diverse backgrounds spark more than a few debates, especially during the playoffs.

Bolstered by Supportive Co-workers

The passion of the work can create tension within a team, especially when your team’s path meets failure. But the team builds on the knowledge of each failure - and success. Because working together, with a single-minded strength of purpose, sharing success and failure, inspires friendships. And many of these last a lifetime.

When you belong to a real winning team, the atmosphere is infectious. And the team is inspired. Balancing Work & Family becomes a lifestyle, not a struggle.
