Pros
The employees are friendly and people oriented. They do want to assist you in training but they are all doing 3 different jobs at the same time. The regional manager from California was especially personable. My sales person R.D was especially great to work with but he was swamped and assisted intermittently when he could.. This is a small volume store with potential for bigger sales with the right personnel .
Cons
This statement from their manual is completely incorrect." At 84 Lumber we offer an excellent and comprehensive Early Development Program and Home Study Program, which successful candidates complete within 4 to 6 months. All successful candidates attend a comprehensive 3-day training program our Corporate Headquarters where you will get one on one training" I worked 3 days...had about 1.5 hours of 3 employees show me how THEY do things....there is no operation manual nor training manual..computer programs are outdated....I have worked 10 years each at two great jobs...84 manager fired me on day 3....we had app. 2 conversations while I was there...employees were nice and as helpful as they could be. Store cleanliness is not a priority.. This actually was a blessing to be fired...I had a job waiting for me when I got home.....Everyone should be fired at least once in their career...I think?...Turn over is high.
