Pros

The employees are friendly and people oriented. They do want to assist you in training but they are all doing 3 different jobs at the same time. The regional manager from California was especially personable. My sales person R.D was especially great to work with but he was swamped and assisted intermittently when he could.. This is a small volume store with potential for bigger sales with the right personnel .

Cons

This statement from their manual is completely incorrect." At 84 Lumber we offer an excellent and comprehensive Early Development Program and Home Study Program, which successful candidates complete within 4 to 6 months. All successful candidates attend a comprehensive 3-day training program our Corporate Headquarters where you will get one on one training" I worked 3 days...had about 1.5 hours of 3 employees show me how THEY do things....there is no operation manual nor training manual..computer programs are outdated....I have worked 10 years each at two great jobs...84 manager fired me on day 3....we had app. 2 conversations while I was there...employees were nice and as helpful as they could be. Store cleanliness is not a priority.. This actually was a blessing to be fired...I had a job waiting for me when I got home.....Everyone should be fired at least once in their career...I think?...Turn over is high.

Pros

Free uniforms! (t-shirts, Carhartt winter coat, Dickies zip-up hooded sweatshirt). Associates are allowed to wear shorts in the summer. Most stores are closed on Sundays.

Cons

Long hours leaves little time for any outside interests. Some stores are still open on Sundays. Snow plowing and removal is minimal at best.

Pros

Good atmosphere, sales positions pay good, set training programs, lots of events at throughout the company, company discounts, lots of help.

Cons

clean shaven everyday, not to many cons so far, pay is lower than it should be for some positions, busy all day and not feeling compensated enough.
