Pros

Ferguson has a great culture. Promotes from within. Upper management communicates effectively to the branches. For the most part, the associates are great people and really look out for each other. They will get you through some rough days. IF you are working for a good manager, it can be an enjoyable place to work.

Cons

Ferguson is very demanding of your time. It requires long hours if you want to advance in the company. Ferguson gets the best of you in the work/life balance. Customers can be brutal! You have to put up with a lot of B.S.. Ferguson demands too much for what they pay you! If they paid better, I would be more inclined to recommend the company.

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!!!
