Pros

Ferguson is the world's largest industrial wholesale company. As a result, there are many locations and many career opportunities. The benefits are slightly above average as they offer 401K match, health insurance, dental, etc.

Cons

NO WORK LIFE BALANCE - Pay people just enough to stick around. More like modern day slave labor. Expect so much out of their employees without giving them the tools or support to fulfill the roles properly and effectively. Raises are very seldom. Stay away...

Pros

None, I would say remote work but it’s very toxic.

Cons

Poor leadership (manager and director), poor communication, poor training, unrealistic m expectations, micromanagement, no SOPs, lack of structure, FLSA violations, no upfront disclosure of what role is, stingy management. People outside of HR are great. In HR? They’re happy to lay people off and talk about it so casually during meetings. Think “it’s our yearly layoffs” and joking about catching people “slipping”. No opportunities for growth despite saying there was during interviews. Interview and reality are worlds apart. No diversity. Severe control issues. No new people have been hired in over 3 years yet multiple people have left so people are burnout. One person handles all of one process alone and management thinks that’s ok. For reference the same process takes 10-11 associates in the same sized org. I can go on. Stay away!!!
