Gotta pay your dues

Pros

Good money if you are willing to work hard and are lucky enough to be promoted into a good situation. Room to grow if you put in the time and are willing to relocate. Variety of daily activity keeps you out of any monotonous routine.

Cons

Each store has its own personality if you aren't adaptable to different types of people it can be hard to fit in. Fitting in is important because these people are your new family seeing them 50+ hours a week. Some "elite" managers less likely to help in to day-to-day operations and not enough mid level people to pick up the slack. Being a Co-manager is the worst time you'll have with company have fun working every Saturday and every holiday. Trying to use vacation time can be difficult because there's only one person who can cover your hours and that's the guy who approves your time off.

Pros

Team atmosphere Freedom to run store to fit the market Excellent bonus opportunities and competitive salary Great ownership, owner cares about her people

Cons

If you lack work ethic, you need not apply. This is a physical job from manager trainee to manager. Heavy diet of math as well.

Pros

So many opportunities, You are in charge of your future! Competitive entry-level wages, Fantastic training. I've been with 84 Lumber for 17 years, and "nothing is impossible!" I learn something new everyday, enjoy the "family" type environment my employees share, and look forward to making a difference.

Cons

Sometimes employee turnaround leaves something to be desired. Our customers look forward to building a relationship with an associate, and one day, they are promoted out. That's the name of the game I suppose, but I'm personally one for not promoting too early, or out of desperation.
