I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Sherwin-Williams (Chicopee, MA) in Jan 2009
Interview
Simple in store application, took about a week to contact me, had one interview but I have never seen more than three, process from application till working in store was roughly a week and a half, they like to build up an employees knowledge so lack of experience isn't always a bad thing as long as you are willing to learn.

I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Sherwin-Williams (Lexington, VA) in Dec 2025
Interview
They interview everyone who applies but the manager doing the interview will act disinterested immediately and barely show you around if he doesn't click with you. The job itself seemed simple and something that changes day to day.
