Pros

One of the few large employers in Hampton Roads.

Cons

If you are a middle-aged guy with basic education and very little experience, but a knack for using jargons, this is the place for you. Not a place for hard-working and smart people. The leadership is mostly made up of home-grown guys working their way up from the counter, who have very little understanding of technology, finances or business practices in general, so decisions are not based on knowledge and facts, but how much they like you, see note about knack for using jargons. Promotions are scarce and almost non-existent, pay and benefits are below the norm for company of that size (except for leadership of course). Overall, if you are lazy, good at schmoozing and downplaying problems, ok dealing with drama and politics all the time, go ahead and apply, you will be just at home at Ferguson.

Pros

Huge office space and freedom to work independently in break rooms instead of being stuck at a desk. They have many opportunities for growth but the high paying roles are salaried and are paid once a month instead of biweekly. Overall a great company with good benefits

Cons

Lower pay than normal for the work

Pros

Stable company with strong financial backing and deep pockets. Solid commission opportunities once you build a strong client base. Certain regions and business groups are willing to invest in and support business growth.

Cons

Some regions are under constant pressure to cut costs, making it increasingly difficult to service customers effectively and grow the business. Management is often absent and lacks understanding of the day-to-day realities of running such a lean operation. Overall talent quality has been declining, and the management compensation and bonus structure frequently drives irrational decision-making.
