Pros

-Great fast-paced environment to work in. -Industry leading training program. Besides on the job training, 84 provides their entry level Manager trainees with a self-study program as well as classes so they can learn what they need to know in order to be successful personally and for the company. -You get out of it what you put in to it. As pay is partially incentive based, the harder you work, the more $ you can make! -Small, tight-nit crew. At my store, we have a total of only 8 employees. Working with a small crew, your co-workers become your second family. Everyone works together to make the store succeed. -84 Lumber provides awesome benefits...health, dental, vision, disability, 401k, and profit sharing. -Working through 84, I have learned so much about building, the industry, and how to run a business. -It took me only 3 years to work my way up from Manager Trainee, to Co-Manager, to Store Manager.

Cons

Our bear bones way of running our store really only sucks when it is 0 degrees outside. The cold can be harsh. But we can't control the weather. Besides that, no complaints.

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.
