Pros

The other associates were awesome - it was a great environment with the people, benfits are excellent and the company does seem to care about some of its associates.

Cons

When I first started at Ferguson the term "Ferguson Family" meant something but once the British took over it seems that all of that went out the window - now it is just about the bottom line and the dollars. Considering that Ferguson is carrying Wolseley as a whole it would seem that they would leave Ferguson alone but it has muscled its way in and changed the environment for the worse.

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.
