Pros

Learned a lot of business and negotiation skills.

Cons

Was told promotions would be after 6 months of training. The two best salesmen at our store were there for 3 years without a sniff of a promotion.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to write a review. We pride ourselves on our training programs and internal promotional structure. It is our intention to help each of our associates to "move up the ladder" within the company, following a career path that best suits individual goals (whether that be at the store level in a sales or management role, or at our Team Headquarters with a more corporate role). We regret to hear that the job was not as you expected. If you have any additional feedback, please send us an email at hr@84lumber.com.

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.
