Pros

Employees get to learn all the processes of the company from the ground up. Customer service is the best in the industry. They really know how to take care of their customers.

Cons

Long hours. A lot of down time that drags the day even further. Work can be grueling, especially if you start in the warehouse. Employees can be difficult to work with and there is a constant unsettling atmosphere in the workplace. This company buys out smaller companies which don't adopt the Ferguson culture. If you are hired through Ferguson you can be placed in one of their many businesses (pumbing, waterworks, HVAC,etc) and not have the experience promised during the interview or orientation.

Pros

None, I would say remote work but it’s very toxic.

Cons

Poor leadership (manager and director), poor communication, poor training, unrealistic m expectations, micromanagement, no SOPs, lack of structure, FLSA violations, no upfront disclosure of what role is, stingy management. People outside of HR are great. In HR? They’re happy to lay people off and talk about it so casually during meetings. Think “it’s our yearly layoffs” and joking about catching people “slipping”. No opportunities for growth despite saying there was during interviews. Interview and reality are worlds apart. No diversity. Severe control issues. No new people have been hired in over 3 years yet multiple people have left so people are burnout. One person handles all of one process alone and management thinks that’s ok. For reference the same process takes 10-11 associates in the same sized org. I can go on. Stay away!!!
