Ferguson is a great place to start but growth bottlenecks early on in your career

Analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great starting pay for entry-level, fun working environment and management engages with everyone on a personal level. Not unusual to meet an executive multiple times.

Cons

Expect long hours from employees and there isn't a lot of growth opportunities after the initial trainee period. Exceptional work performance throughout a year is not rewarded as well as being there for a long time.

Ferguson treats you like mushrooms. Feeds you a lot of **** and keeps you in the dark.

Showroom consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some possibility of high commissions.

Cons

Like other posters have stated, management keeps you in the dark and doesn't share info about changes at your branch. Salary 50 is a joke and makes you work long hours for average pay compared to others in your industry. The environment of not knowing who is next on the chopping block makes for a very hostile and unsecure working environment. The star employees get everything and the average ones are continously threatened with layoff. Way too much strees for little return to tolerate. I understand sales are important but turnover is so high, how does anyone build up enough clientele or rep to produce like the vets of 25-30 years? Those people didnt do it in a years time!!! Way to much to go on and I'm getting agitated again! Stay away from Ferguson!!!
