Pros

401k was pretty good with their contributions, potential to work a lot of overtime, meet a lot of business contacts related to construction, potential to make a lot of money when times are good

Cons

You can’t have facial hair, some of the stores up north are extremely strict with dress code, low base pay makes it difficult when you aren’t getting bonuses

84 Lumber makes a large commitment to training. We teach associates about building materials and how to sell them. Promotional opportunities and compensation are explained when associates are hired. Moving up in the management ranks requires relocation.
