Pros

The other associates were awesome - it was a great environment with the people, benfits are excellent and the company does seem to care about some of its associates.

Cons

When I first started at Ferguson the term "Ferguson Family" meant something but once the British took over it seems that all of that went out the window - now it is just about the bottom line and the dollars. Considering that Ferguson is carrying Wolseley as a whole it would seem that they would leave Ferguson alone but it has muscled its way in and changed the environment for the worse.

Pros

None, I would say remote work but it’s very toxic.

Cons

Poor leadership (manager and director), poor communication, poor training, unrealistic m expectations, micromanagement, no SOPs, lack of structure, FLSA violations, no upfront disclosure of what role is, stingy management. People outside of HR are great. In HR? They’re happy to lay people off and talk about it so casually during meetings. Think “it’s our yearly layoffs” and joking about catching people “slipping”. No opportunities for growth despite saying there was during interviews. Interview and reality are worlds apart. No diversity. Severe control issues. No new people have been hired in over 3 years yet multiple people have left so people are burnout. One person handles all of one process alone and management thinks that’s ok. For reference the same process takes 10-11 associates in the same sized org. I can go on. Stay away!!!
