Pros

Company culture was a major selling point when I was hired and for the first 3+ years, it was a great place to work. Lots of opportunities to learn new skills, try out new approaches to reaching our customers online, etc. But as leadership changes were implemented and the economy became more tough for the industries Ferguson works in, there was a major shift from the top down. By the time I left, our 300+ department had been completely restructured and we were no longer meeting our customers' needs or expectations due to backtracking how we were engaging customers as if it was the early 2000s.

Cons

Salaries tend to be a lot lower due to using the corporate office location's cost of living (VA). C-suite leadership unaware of today's customer expectations and ways to engage them. SO MANY MEETINGS.

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

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!!!
