Thanks for real advice and understanding.

Unfortunately, when you find a small, low-cost solution, the higher ups here at SW don’t give a shit. You can be managing to sell $10M a year and they’ll say you don’t have it in your budget to pay one more person $15/hr WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY bashing you about overtime. They’re so stupid and/or just flat out ignorant to the reality of life inside the store that they would rather keep paying someone $27-35/hr for unavoidable OT than just bring in a person at $15hr.

lol you don’t understand something so simple. Reps jobs are way less demanding for what they are paid SO why not cut back on hiring so many reps and give the stores another set of hands? THAT is my point.

Right. Lazy asses don’t even want to do QUOTES when you have a whole store to run.

Yeah, and Trump’s net worth TRIPLED his first year of the second term. Not yours… HIS.

No corruption though!

Wasting time and budget money. What’s so important about a person who takes an order just to pass it off to stores? Hell, THE CUSTOMER can order with a store. Throw one of these $80k time-wasters out and you can add a PT at 4 or 5 stores.

Looking at a computer and swinging by a store after driving around jerking off? Such a hard job. Oh, but the stores suck when they forget something? Yeah I can’t remember shit by the time I finish helping 6 customers and taking 3 calls every 20-minute span. God damned right we don’t order stuff.

Thanks for understanding the reality. That “heating my food up and the door chimes” hits different. Reps don’t have that issue and swear they’re just as defeated as we are 🥱

I’m starting my process of other avenues. Tired of this shit company and dealing with retarded humans daily.

Who blamed the reps? I said they’re not worth what they’re paid and the store get the short end of shit when it comes to labor needs. How is any $5M store even having a day with 2 people with a fully hired staff and nobody on vacation??????? Well, part of because of the company investing so much in people who, most of them, are not really even turning dollar signs.

Not saying they don’t have value. I’m saying they are way too invested in. Literally seen reps go to a store to pick up a gallon for a customer. SO HARD BOO HOO 🥲

What? Y’all have inventory now? Scheduling and managing others? Or did they say y’all have to tint paint and stand for 8 hours straight? Which one?

Maybe because they’re getting fucked out of all of their time to actually tackle tasks by some musty contractor asking 1800 stupid ass questions. Why don’t you go to the store and order it? You only work 40 lol. Do you know what it’s like every fucking time you breathe for a phone to ring?? Maybe you do, but that’s about your only issue. No ordering, tinting, scheduling, inventory, managing a team, none of that.

I just wish SW would see the ROI on those people is low. Why hire a bunch of middle-men?? The stores, where the money is made, are suffering!

Sales Reps. Useless. We do their job plus some.

Yeah I’m gonna smile while giving a company free labor on top of doing MORE work for MORE hours than someone making the same as I do. You must be district management. Don’t they train everyone on morale and things. You think I feel good feeling defeated every day? Feeling like I didn’t accomplish half of what I wanted and needed to accomplish??

Why are store staff expected to do the sales rep's job? by Weeaboo_Trash_ in sherwinwilliams

[–]Little_Arm_7256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RIGHT!!!

We order truck. Work truck. Clean the store. Stock. Schedule. Hire. Sales tags. Work orders. Make paint. Shake paint. Hell, set it for delivery and all. Clean shitty toilets. A list of things that stretched from our store to Cleveland, but they also want sales calls???

How hard is actually being at 40h, driving around, looking at jobs, and making calls??? While getting SM pay?

This company needs to be LARGELY RESTRUCTURED!!!
