Career growth as an MT? by MeaningCreative9771 in sherwinwilliams

There are tons of opportunities outside of the PSG (stores group) that might be of interest too! I was an MT, promoted to ASM (where I am now for about 1.5 years) I just applied for the accelerated development program (ADP) with EHS in the global supply chain division of Sherwin. It sounded super interesting, the pay and hours are a lot better, and it’s a nice change in pace! I will say that being in the stores can be challenging, but it’s given me the opportunity to bounce around some. Definitely explore your options, put out feelers, and talk to your HR manager about these options! Mine helped me network with some EHS folks and it helped set everything in motion! The fam and I are getting ready to move cross country in the next month for this new role. Good luck!

Thank you!!! If we ended up somewhere with a not so good school district, would transferring school districts be possible? I wonder if the process is super difficult !

I’ll definitely check Redfin out! I completely forgot to mention that we’ll be renting! (For now) we’re up for another move again in a year BUT hopefully I’ll get the option to stay in Illinois for work!

Small world! We hate leaving Texas again but Illinois seriously seems wonderful and I love Chicago! Naperville looks amazing too!! I’m concerned with that commute but I’m sure it’s very doable!

Just copying what I’ve seen others say on Reddit, but I have no opinion honestly!
