Pros

I have worked for Ferguson in three different locations and always felt a sense of camaraderie and support. Since the company has a presence throughout the U.S. it is easy to move both laterally and upwards.

Cons

The long work weeks of 50 hours and having to work a Saturday a month if you are in the showroom.

Pros

Sometimes there are prevailing wage job contracts. The Company has some decent benefits deducted from each paycheck. Vacation and sick leave available.

Cons

Travel 50% of time minimum. Weeks at a time. Sometimes months at a time. No compensation while traveling when not on the clock, yet stuck in whatever town the contract is in until job is finished. Hard on family. Sometimes expectations from management exceed resources given to properly accomplish the job.

Pros

Good people - many in the period 2006-2009 have gone onto bigger roles elsewhere Opportunities Career development - Darden, IMD etc

Cons

Cyclical business. Downturn in 2008 to 2009 impacted the business very badly. Another downturn in economy likely to do the same.
