Pros

Ferguson has an expansive footprint and there is opportunity especially if you are willing to relocate. Benefits are good priced.

Cons

Low pay even for the industry. 401k is bad. Incompetence runs rampant Must be on east coast in order to ascend Senior leaders are not very competent Pushes Ferguson kool-aid heavy to make up for taking advantage of employees. District and regional managers struggle with basically accounting and most lack the ability to actually read a financial statement. Credit department is actually ran by sales managers since they decide your pay…so it’s going to be low. West Coast is disfunctional. Toxic management at local levels and in Newport News.

Pros

Huge office space and freedom to work independently in break rooms instead of being stuck at a desk. They have many opportunities for growth but the high paying roles are salaried and are paid once a month instead of biweekly. Overall a great company with good benefits

Cons

Lower pay than normal for the work

Pros

Stable company with strong financial backing and deep pockets. Solid commission opportunities once you build a strong client base. Certain regions and business groups are willing to invest in and support business growth.

Cons

Some regions are under constant pressure to cut costs, making it increasingly difficult to service customers effectively and grow the business. Management is often absent and lacks understanding of the day-to-day realities of running such a lean operation. Overall talent quality has been declining, and the management compensation and bonus structure frequently drives irrational decision-making.
