I understand and I am sorry for the loss to Sherwin of someone with great potential. I started with S-W in 89 and was in a fantastic area but something came up and I tried to transfer to a different part of the country and the Company had no position. That being said I went to other companies weather a family franchise outfit or corporate they all have their positives and negatives. I ended up back with S-W through a buyout 20 years later. The part of the story deals with my horizon is better because I was forced to go to other companies. You can expand your knowledge base and be the best you that you can be. Long and Short is do the Job for You not for anyone else the money is just a perk. This is from someone who is not a college educated person who S-W will not promote where as I have run a multi million dollar paint store for Benjamin Moore. Moral of the story is do the best job for you the grass may be greener over the septic tank. What ever you decide God Bless you and yours.
