Pros

If you have a remote position then they send you a laptop, and a couple 24" monitors to work from. They offer remote, hybrid, and in office depending on your team and your location. If you can keep up with the metrics and stay afloat for a year, you can start applying to other positions outside of the residential sales.

Cons

The metrics are insane and feel like they are set up to make you fail. The upper management is awful and they don't listen to any ideas to improve things. A lot of the customers are already upset before they even get to you because of the phone system. You are on such a tight schedule its hard to step away to peeif its not break time. You can turn your calls off and just go, but you get marked down. This is a con and a pro, Ferguson feels like a terrible company to work for if you are on the residential side. If you can make it until you are eligible to apply to other areas such as the waterworks or industrial side, its a great place to be.

Pros

Huge office space and freedom to work independently in break rooms instead of being stuck at a desk. They have many opportunities for growth but the high paying roles are salaried and are paid once a month instead of biweekly. Overall a great company with good benefits

Cons

Lower pay than normal for the work

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!!!
