Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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...

Vantaggi

Huge office space and freedom to work independently in break rooms instead of being stuck at a desk. They have many opportunities for growth but the high paying roles are salaried and are paid once a month instead of biweekly. Overall a great company with good benefits

Svantaggi

Lower pay than normal for the work

Vantaggi

None, I would say remote work but it’s very toxic.

Svantaggi

Poor leadership (manager and director), poor communication, poor training, unrealistic m expectations, micromanagement, no SOPs, lack of structure, FLSA violations, no upfront disclosure of what role is, stingy management. People outside of HR are great. In HR? They’re happy to lay people off and talk about it so casually during meetings. Think “it’s our yearly layoffs” and joking about catching people “slipping”. No opportunities for growth despite saying there was during interviews. Interview and reality are worlds apart. No diversity. Severe control issues. No new people have been hired in over 3 years yet multiple people have left so people are burnout. One person handles all of one process alone and management thinks that’s ok. For reference the same process takes 10-11 associates in the same sized org. I can go on. Stay away!!!
