Pros
Worked for 84 Lumber for 5 years. Good place to get some experience for your resume, learn a lot of valuable skills. Potential to earn good money if your in a thriving market. If you work hard, your likely to succeed. If your willing to relocate and move around, you can make a career.
Cons
Can be too many hours for mediocre pay. Can make the same or more with a 40 hour/week job. Benefits really are not great, healthcare is expensive. Vacation "block scheduling" is terrible. Get with the times, allow an employee to take 2-3 days off if they want. If your in a slow market or working in a small store, you will not make a ton of money. Work life balance isn't great, when your working 55 hours or So a week. Working in sales, sometimes work comes home with you, which really kills work life balance. Having customers call you until 8-9pm at night and even Sunday morning before 7am is a headache. Can be hard to get away from work
