Pros
Decent pay and benefits. Ferguson has some great employees. Unfortunately, they are owned and controlled by Wolseley. I loved what I did, most of my co-workers and my team but after two years I couldn't handle the bullying and horrible work/life balance anymore.
Cons
Most toxic environment you can imagine. Turnover alone is evidence of this. I feel sorry for the employees in the UK that can't even leave for three months when they want to get out. Incompetent management that are bullies. Worst part is that the bullies are known but nothing is done about it. Worked with some great people who have all left in the past 6 months. HR in Wolseley and Ferguson do not care about employees and are corrupt. If you are considering a position in Ferguson but will report to Wolseley, do some serious research. Also, ensure you have tough skin and don't mind being screamed at and sworn at; and being thrown under the bus and not supported. Heads of departments in Wolseley speak poorly of and disrespectfully about leadership in the other companies they own (including Ferguson) and in front of employees.
