Pros

Good Benefits 401k Matching Nothing Else this is not the position that its stated to be

Cons

Long hours with extremely low wages, unsafe working conditions, a group of managers that do not want you to succeed, racist/sexist cliental, the job listing is deceptive. You WILL be doing the works of over five different jobs with zero support.

84 Lumber Manager Trainees are training to become store managers one day. Store Managers need to be able to do any job inside an 84 Lumber store. Manager Trainees also need to learn those jobs. 84 Lumber associates do work indoors and out doors. We offer most full time store associates at least 48 hours per week. We pay overtime on everything over 40 hours. Safety is a top priority at 84 Lumber. Stores are inspected by a safety manager on a regular basis.

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.
