Pros

Easy Job, learn something new everyday, OT, company match, profit share, if you’re willing to stick around long enough you can make a lot of money, most co workers are great and willing to teach

Cons

Long hours, understaffed, horrible pay, have to move to be promoted, constantly do other people’s jobs that get paid twice as much as you, little to no vacation, do not get fairly compensated for sales numbers, POS system is awful, can’t have a beard, false promises, college degree means nothing, no heat or ac, and you are forced to work saturdays

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to write a review. We pride ourselves on our training programs and internal promotional structure. It is our intention to help each of our associates to "move up the ladder" within the company, following a career path that best suits individual goals (whether that be at the store level in a sales or management role, or at our Team Headquarters with a more corporate role). We regret to hear that the job was not as you expected. If you have any additional feedback, please send us an email at hr@84lumber.com.
