Pros

Most of the people are great to work with. I think the owner does good things and is good to her employees.

Cons

I left a review of how I ask off it was for my daughters wedding. Then it was answered I could have used my PTO sick time etc. I had all this time. Legally I could have left because the email sent out was for working on Saturday it never said to work on Friday afternoon. Also regarding the employee that sleeps on the job was never mentioned. Read the handbook pg80 the last sentence. To the one that answered my review this proves it depends on who you are. You should also check the AR department 3 major companies would be leaving 84 Lumber if they knew how their accounts were handled. This could be a huge problem for 84 Lumber. Also you should be able to respond after your review. By the way if you need proof of any of this I have it.
