Pros

Great people to work for. Managers took time to get to know employees and gave reasonable chances to get to know the program and that inventory before making any decisions about the employees' progress.

Cons

Inventory in January was difficult with all the snow and counting pipe outside could have been better organized in order to limit overhead errors.

Pros

Ferguson has a great culture. Promotes from within. Upper management communicates effectively to the branches. For the most part, the associates are great people and really look out for each other. They will get you through some rough days. IF you are working for a good manager, it can be an enjoyable place to work.

Cons

Ferguson is very demanding of your time. It requires long hours if you want to advance in the company. Ferguson gets the best of you in the work/life balance. Customers can be brutal! You have to put up with a lot of B.S.. Ferguson demands too much for what they pay you! If they paid better, I would be more inclined to recommend the company.

Pros

Decent benefits, plenty of challenges, fairly flexible scheulde, time off is better than average (provided you negotiate your vacation and don't accept the typical vacation accrual).

Cons

The manager who hired me was fantastic and then he retired. Management brought someone in who knew absolutely nothing. Now, we are micromanaged and controlled through fear, intimidation and threats. Knowledge and experience mean nothing to Ferguson. It is a clique and if you don't know the right people, you won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
