Working at Ferguson Enterprises in Phoenix, AZ: 2 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Phoenix, AZ Area

"I've been with Ferguson a while. I've seen the good and the bad and the ugly. The ugly has been sexual harassment, bullying from lower level management and a penchant of keeping employees on edge as to whether they will be employed the next day or not. The ugly is a culture of the good ole' boys, if you know the right person you can get promoted quickly and easily. Match that to a person that outperforms the freshly promoted associate in every aspect and you are left wondering. I'm not even referring to myself, these are observations made over a very long period of time. They require long hours and you are going to be working your butt off every second of the day. Management has eyes on you, this is a predominant "feature" in every location. It is a culture intended to put fear into the minds of those working there that their jobs are not guaranteed and yes you can and will be let go if they think you are slacking even in the slightest bit. The pay is decent for managers and can be excellent for outside sales reps, but it is definitely substandard at every other level. Inside sales, warehouse personnel, counter associates, truck drivers are not going to get anything near what they could somewhere else. The good stuff is the benefits. The longer you're there, the more hours you rack up for vacation hours. Ferguson gives vacation time, sick leave, personal leave and floating holidays in addition to 6 days paid normal holiday days. There are some great people working there with great personalities, There are also some incredibly miserable people working there that have the worst attitude and outlook on life you could ever possibly find anywhere. Those are the kind of people that can make it very undesirable to come to work every day. Ferguson is not good at giving you a life beyond work. The long hours and potential to be on call after work hours can equate to a diminished home life."
