Pros

Company is in a commodity market and constantly growing. Although it is a growing business, 84 still has a "small-town" feel and every employee is treated like family.

Cons

There are no real cons to working at 84 Lumber. It can be hard work at times, but very rewarding.

Pros

Worked for 84 Lumber for 5 years. Good place to get some experience for your resume, learn a lot of valuable skills. Potential to earn good money if your in a thriving market. If you work hard, your likely to succeed. If your willing to relocate and move around, you can make a career.

Cons

Can be too many hours for mediocre pay. Can make the same or more with a 40 hour/week job. Benefits really are not great, healthcare is expensive. Vacation "block scheduling" is terrible. Get with the times, allow an employee to take 2-3 days off if they want. If your in a slow market or working in a small store, you will not make a ton of money. Work life balance isn't great, when your working 55 hours or So a week. Working in sales, sometimes work comes home with you, which really kills work life balance. Having customers call you until 8-9pm at night and even Sunday morning before 7am is a headache. Can be hard to get away from work

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility of scheduling. Work environment. Insurance is a good provider. Profit sharing again. Networking with vendors and builders provides greater growth opportunities.

Cons

Work environment. Hours worked. Overtime is mandatory. If short staffed you will work all the time. Slow season when it gets cold, building slows down and your pay check will suffer due to smaller/no bonuses.
