Pros

Person from HR/Recruitment was professional and nice. Role available matched my experience well and pay range matched what I expected.

Cons

In a nutshell its a privately held company since 1956. There is a dress code for all employees, consists of corporate branded shirt, ok. kaki's and hard sole shoe, ok..no problem there. No facial hair, at all except neatly trimmed mustache. COVID vax and boosters are mandated. So full stop, not interested. Arcane and outdated work mandates will limit your candidate pool.

Pros

Can’t think of any pros right now

Cons

If you are not one of the boys there is no way you will make it at 84 Lumber. You have to wear a Kevlar vest to survive all the back stabbing that goes on within the company
