Ferguson reviews

In a five year period I got less than $100 per month salary increase and my bonuses actually went DOWN, yet worked longer and harder than ever! Management was completely oblivious to the happenings in the showroom- much more focused on selling pipe and hiring outside sales staff for that side of the business than bringing in a much needed showroom administrator for overworked, underpaid showroom consultants. People who deserve to move up in the company dont, some actually move back, and those that are incompetent seem to be the ones who are promoted.

Work to life ratio is extremely poor. Expect to work 10 to 12 hour days. My longest day, a handful of times, reached 16 hours. Inventory twice a year will take up 4 weekends of your life each year. Extremely understaffed (mostly due to the economy and the poor performance of sister companies). Expected to sell products based on superior ability to procure and deliver product, however the company consistantly cut levels of inventory and personel to satisfy shareholders and made this nearly impossible to provide to customers.
