I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ferguson (Charlotte, NC) in Jun 2021
Interview
The interview process is heinous. I was a former employee and never had to go through 5 rounds of interviews from a bunch of newly-graduated buffoons. This was after the pre-screening done by individuals with barely a middle school level of English in Peru. I wound up turning down 3 offers because they are all paying less than what I was making with Ferguson nearly 20 years ago when I was first starting off my Sales career. And, the pay was not just slightly less, it was less than half! Ferguson is a total joke now. I asked one Area Sales Manager of the Carolina region (Residential) how she measures the success of an employee in the role and she said "there really isn't a way to measure and we really don't do that, but I do get on some calls and listen every once and a while". Totally tomfoolery and level 1 in sales, if that's and, she was a Princeton graduate as well! Lol The definition of your degree is the only thing that got you the there because she is completely clueless. Good job Ferguson, you've really made me realize to not settle.
Phone call, video call, in person interview. Very friendly people throughout, not crazy difficult. Met with the recruiter first and then after meeting on a video call was brought in for the interview person interview

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ferguson (Georgetown, KY) in Jul 2024
Interview
laid back process. Easy questions very informative of the job description.
Telephone screening is the first step asking you a couple of Questions regarding your definition of teamwork. How you would resolve a customer who is angry
Recorded interview where you needed to respond to a prompt, spoke on the phone with national recruiter very simple questions, final round interview in person more comprehensive but with the decision makers.
