Pros

My tenure with this company spans 18 years. 84 Lumber places family values first and demonstrates respect and honor to its employees. After my college graduation, I was unsure about my career path. However, my lack of experience in the building material industry did not hinder my employment. 84 Lumber provided me with comprehensive training and equipped me with the necessary tools to succeed, which enabled me to advance quickly in the company. Even presently, the company continues to offer daily support to me and my team. I intend to retire from this company.

Cons

Currently - none at this time

Pros

Like it. You have to know how to do the job though.

Cons

None, really. Everyone working for someone else knows it will never be perfect. Perfect isn’t the goal. Just, livable. It is a livable place. You could thrive, even.
