Pros

This is a really good company to grow with if you have the time to clean toilets. Scrub the base boards, basically be the jantors for people that mess and soil the bathroom on a daily bases. I am on the verge of getting my MBA I will not clean bathrooms and be insulted while I am doing it! Very disrespectful management.

Cons

At the location that I worked at management was very biased and has pre-set notions about how Afircan American people behave and act. My manager was very stereotypical and ignorant. I can not deal with a person that will state out loud that and I quote " all black people steal, you just have not been caught as of yet! Wow really!

However, disrespect and ignorance is something 84 Lumber will not tolerate. We strongly encourage you to contact the HR team at 1-888-456-8497 to further discuss!

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.
