Pros

* Learn from the best two-faced political players in the game. * Set up pointless bonding events rather than pay market value. * No need for creativity

Cons

* Working in marketing is a high stress position at Ferguson. You spend more of your time playing politics and blaming others than doing actual work. Most of the working day is in meetings talking about doing work and then writing up documentation that will buried in their cavernous vault of Sharepoint. * At the first sign of financial trouble the Marketing team is gutted by upper management to save on labor. * This team is more about who you know and what you can say you did rather than what you have done. Doesn't matter if your contributions were profitable or even good, just that upper management liked it. Personally my position was replaced by 3 contract workers that cost the company more money than keeping me, but I was the outcast of the group and needed to go.

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!!!
