Pros

If you aren't lazy, can do the right thing, and can treat people with dignity and respect, you will have opportunities here. 84 Lumber promotes almost entirely from within, so your ability to advance both your career and your income is only limited by your desire to improve.

You will work some long, physically-demanding hours on your way up the promotion ladder. If you choose to pursue the management track, you will usually need to relocate to be promoted.
