Pros

Good retirement plan and benefits. Pay can be above average. Challenging environment with plenty to learn. Bonuses are nice if you are lucky enough to be in the bonus pool.

Cons

Ferguson is now run by different management , They have implemented their Business Management Initiative (BMI). Now career paths are vague, pay is lower, advancement is non-existant . But there are alot more Managers that you never see or hear from who are making decisions that the workers have no knowledge of or input. Tech equipment and programs are stuck in the 80's. Still green screen and dot matrix printers. Crappy branch managers.

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!!!
