      Pros

      Pays surprisingly well. I was told $12 per hour with up to 1000 in bonuses per month. Wasn't told that I could take all of the overtime I wanted and that the bonus was actually consistently attainable. All in all the MT's at the store are pulling about 42000 per year. You learn more than you expect and within a couple of months start to see the wealth of opportunities in the company and out of it.

      Cons

      Long hours. I regularly pass the 60hr per week mark. Low scheduling flexibility. Best if you don't have any family waiting at home for you.

      Very political, promotions are not based on merit, they are given to the people that kiss the most butt.

      Pros

      Pay is decent once you get out of entry level positions, unless your store of having a bad year. Health benefits are great compared to other companies in the industry. Best training program in business hands down.

      Cons

      Very political. They are way understaffed, so expect to go 100mph from 6:45-at least 6, probably later in the summer. Entry level pay is horrible. The promotions are very political. Most of the time, you will be required to move (sometimes out of state) for a promotion. Other than the health insurance, the benefits are horrible. No milage reimbursement unless you are a salesman, even though as a manager or co-manager you will do a bunch. Promotions take a lot longer usually than they tell you in interviews. They are generally 20 years behind the times. You are expected to toe the company line 100% of the time, disagree at your own risk. They keep a lot of people through fear. They have a lot of employees convinced that 84 is the only good lumber company out there that isn't about to close its doors. Upper management is to prideful to admit they were wrong, so certain areas in the company will keep struggling with the same things.
