Pros

Some of the greatest people I have ever worked with. Day-to-day business is challenging but rewarding. Pay is excellent and training staff are always available to help.

Cons

Infrastructure is vast and confusing. They claim their people are their most valuable assets, but it is easy to become lost in the hierarchy of upper-management.

Pros

No pros that I can think of. Very lacking. Gain some sales experience but it is limited as large accounts are kept solely to very few people.

Cons

Extremely poor leadership and training is nonexistent. Often times performance goals are made for the sole intention to see others flounder. Very much a good ol boys club and no communication is existent. Also company direction in the industrial field is extremely lacking. No professional knowledge and capability specifically within the application engineering fields for automation engineering. Competitors will soon discover the largest weakness is lack of knowledge from Wolseley as they are still basing their business practices off Ferguson a successful subsidiary of Wolseley in the commercial plumbing and fixtures world. Typical week consists of mandatory 50 hours (expect more typically 60 hour work weeks and working on the weekends) Extremely stressful environment. Bosses yell at employees and create more problems than solutions

Pros

There weren't many but there was cool people to work with, some free lunches/breakfast, casual environment and attire , a good amount of time off to start.

Cons

Where do I start..... 1) Horrible working conditions, mainly in warehouse 2) Long hours (10-11 hour day MINIMUM) 3) Underpaid for the work you actually do. 4) Little to none raises. When you do get a raise, the after total is less than new hires of same spot 5) Don't let them fool you with the BS salary pay, its hourly. 6) You work 10+ hour days, but any day you take off, you only can put in 8 hours, meaning loss of pay because you wouldn't be getting as much overtime pay as you would if you did work that day/weel 7) Promotions based on who you know, not what you know or experience I probably could go on, but there is too many.... do not apply/work here. You will regret it after a couple of weeks.
