Pros

Health Benefits, Learn how big corporations operate

Cons

Salary -They don't pay based on one's skill set & experience - MANY people underpaid with college degrees and great work experience.....no specific pay scale, 2 people can have the same job but have a 10-20k pay difference with the same amount of experience. Do not get recognized for hard work and accomplishments Don't expect quick career advancement Mgmt turn their heads at many issues and don't address them Favortism, very political

Pros

Well, it provides a source of income, at least for a while. Make no mistake, ALL Ferguson associates are TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES. If economic (or political, or any other) conditions warrant, even the most productive worker will be disposed of without hesitation like yesterdays newpaper.

Cons

You are a peon, oftentimes being overseen by one of their illustrious "management trainees" (read that-"wet-behind-the-ears-kids-who-haven't-seen-the-light-of-day"). You are expected-nay, REQUIRED-to wave the FEI flag and bow in homage regularly to Newport News, the Source of All Power. You may NOT be critical in any way of anything FEI. Your days are numbered in any event, but that will only speed the process. The wholesale plumbing business is well-populated by bright, industry-savvy, hardworking FORMER associates who were dismissed for "political" reasons (I am personally acquainted with more than one hundred people in this catagory!). Go to work for Ferguson, and you, too, can eventually join the group...
