Pros

Good news if you smoke -- feel free to do that inside the warehouse you'll be working in. Meeting local contractors, learning the reputable ones and the scam artists. Good employee discounts if you just purchased a fixer-upper.

Cons

Blatant racism and sexism. Monolithic central office. Scheduled around a 48 hour work week. Store hours changed with less than a weeks notice. Arcane bonus system. Every store sells common items at different prices based on replacement costs at THAT location. If you want a promotion, prepare to move long-distance

Hello and thank you for your feedback! Sounds like there has been a cross in communication regarding 84 Lumber hiring practices. 84 Lumber will select the best fit candidate for any of our positions whether it is male or female. In fact our Team Headquarters is made up of 55% male, and 45% female. Also we have a zero tolerance for racism and sexism and strongly urge you to contact our Associate Relations hotline at 1-888-456-8497 and someone will respond to you immediately. Again thank you for your feedback and best wishes on your future success.

Pros

Excellent management, people take an active interest in your long term development in house.

Cons

Inflexible corporate expectations, reform and proposals don't appear to travel far past people you can see.

Pros

Good benefits, pay is decent. If you work from home FT as a Manager , you can also run your own business while on the clock get paid for it. Who wouldn't want to work there.

Cons

You can work your butt off, put in more hours than you should and get no respect in return.
