Pros

Decent pay & benefits. Some remote options available. Opportunity to participate in employee stock purchase plans. Parental Leave. Get to work on big projects in the right department. Working here can open a lot of doors for you within the industries Ferguson touches.

Cons

Ferguson is complex to adjust to if you are new to the B2B trade supply industry. It can take some time to wrap your head around all the business groups, customer groups, the "who's and what's" from project to project, etc. Not on the bleeding edge of marketing or online presence - the company is fairly old school and slow to change. I imagine your experience will vary drastically from team to team, as it feels like there many business silos that operate within their own scope of responsibility.

Pros

Huge office space and freedom to work independently in break rooms instead of being stuck at a desk. They have many opportunities for growth but the high paying roles are salaried and are paid once a month instead of biweekly. Overall a great company with good benefits

Cons

Lower pay than normal for the work

Pros

Stable company with strong financial backing and deep pockets. Solid commission opportunities once you build a strong client base. Certain regions and business groups are willing to invest in and support business growth.

Cons

Some regions are under constant pressure to cut costs, making it increasingly difficult to service customers effectively and grow the business. Management is often absent and lacks understanding of the day-to-day realities of running such a lean operation. Overall talent quality has been declining, and the management compensation and bonus structure frequently drives irrational decision-making.
