Pros

Decent starting salary out of college, great co-workers, Monday-Friday work schedule with an occasional Saturday (1/2 day), relocation opportunities, good benefits. Customer facing incentive is a decent program but these incentives are getting harder and harder to achieve.

Cons

Poor pay increases (2-3% a year if you're lucky), 45+ hours per week required to achieve target salary, less than ideal office locations, antiquated computer system. Discretionary bonus used to be a decent incentive, but the program was eliminated for rank-and-file associates. Obvious and enormous pay disparity between middle/upper management and rank-and-file associates. Middle/upper management works so few hours that they may as well be classified as part-time employees. Top-heavy organizational structure - understaffing is a huge problem at most branches. Many customers are very difficult to do business with.

Terrible Management

Pros

Great coworkers. Everyone is very knowledgeable and can help in certain situations.

Cons

You get paid terribly for the amount of hours you work. Managers are literally never around. Customers are terrible (not that Ferguson can control that). No incentive to work hard because the only people that get rewarded are your managers.
