Pros

Some possibility of high commissions.

Cons

Like other posters have stated, management keeps you in the dark and doesn't share info about changes at your branch. Salary 50 is a joke and makes you work long hours for average pay compared to others in your industry. The environment of not knowing who is next on the chopping block makes for a very hostile and unsecure working environment. The star employees get everything and the average ones are continously threatened with layoff. Way too much strees for little return to tolerate. I understand sales are important but turnover is so high, how does anyone build up enough clientele or rep to produce like the vets of 25-30 years? Those people didnt do it in a years time!!! Way to much to go on and I'm getting agitated again! Stay away from Ferguson!!!

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.
