Pros

Not much. Mandatory OT gives you some more money in your pocket I guess. If your a guy you have to be clean shaven. Have to buy all the uniforms for the job out of pocket. Cannot wear your own jacket/hat/sweatshirt to work, has to be an 84 Lumber uniform and it is really expensive to buy them.

Cons

Extremely long hours. Sales goals are kind of unreachable. Not too much support in learning how things work in the industry. Management and outside sales only care about their own money while not doing any of the leg work to get it done (only focusing on the sale and not checking the product, loading it, etc.) Very labor intensive.

We have recently conducted an all-associate engagement survey to better understand what our associates think, as we make 84 Lumber an even better place to be.

Pros

Good benefits, pay is decent. If you work from home FT as a Manager , you can also run your own business while on the clock get paid for it. Who wouldn't want to work there.

Cons

You can work your butt off, put in more hours than you should and get no respect in return.
