Pros

Ferguson has a great culture. Promotes from within. Upper management communicates effectively to the branches. For the most part, the associates are great people and really look out for each other. They will get you through some rough days. IF you are working for a good manager, it can be an enjoyable place to work.

Cons

Ferguson is very demanding of your time. It requires long hours if you want to advance in the company. Ferguson gets the best of you in the work/life balance. Customers can be brutal! You have to put up with a lot of B.S.. Ferguson demands too much for what they pay you! If they paid better, I would be more inclined to recommend the company.

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.
