Pros

As a company, 84 Lumber promotes 100% from within. If you are looking for a company that will invest in you and give you the best opportunity to start a career, then look no further! No experience? None needed! 84 Lumber Company provides the best training in the industry and gives you all of the tools you need to be successful. If you are willing to work hard, maintain a positive attitude and go above and beyond to help anyone you can, the possibilities are endless!

Cons

Although I would't say there are "Cons" to working for 84 Lumber, I would also be remit to not mention that it IS hard work. Be prepared to come to work everyday ready to build loads, load customers, load delivery trucks, answer the phones make proactive sales calls and above all else, come ready to learn! You will learn a lot about the industry from your coworkers to the customers that walk in the door. This is a fast paced and exciting environment!

Pros

You learn a lot about building a house from the bottom up. You learn about windows, doors, accessories You learn about sales and working with customers. If you sell and persevere, you will make money and there are bonuses available every month. You can get promoted quickly and make more money with hourly wage and bonuses go up as well.

Cons

The warehouse is freezing in the winter and a Sauna in the summertime. Building loads and driving the forklift in the winter is extremely dangerous. You have to work every other Saturday and if you are a co-manager; you may have to work every Saturday. They may want you to re-locate to another store in the same state or another state. Let them know right away if you can or cannot. They will work with you though which is a good thing. You have to work long hours . sometimes 11 hours a day and then weekends can vary. But this does help you make more money as well.
