Pros

Ferguson is a good place to work out of college, and not a bad company to continue working for if you enjoy the construction industry and don't mind the hours.

Cons

50+ hours a week, not the most female friendly atmosphere.

Pros

Excellent products! We sold the very best products money could buy! For that reason we could make fantastic margins, often 100% or more on products! We were extremely profitable, had a captive audience and could dictate market conditions as our competitors were often slower, less equiped and unable to match our service and quality! Buy from them get it in 3 weeks, buy from us get it tomorrow! The parties, the flirting!!

Cons

Very oppressive workplace! Management out of Nazi Germany! Management would try to hire uneducated, blissful hotties to work the showrooms and ran the place like a brothel! Anything, absolutely anything went at the place! Most people only work for FEI 1-2 years max then they move on to a real job. Employees were a means to an end, not a value added asset. One department at the company had multiple senior level professionals that had been on average with the company 3-7 years and at least 15 years industry experience. They fired them all and replaced them with 24 year olds that they could push around, tell them how stupid they were, but pay them crap because in this economy who can find a job where you can get paid like crap but have a chance with that hot showroom associate!
