Ferguson Superstore

I sold cars at Ferguson for 5 years and really enjoyed it.  They are one of the only dealerships to have individualized training with the worlds premier automotive trainer.  He comes in person twice a year and also with continual web based training modules.  Most other dealerships have no training and a Saturday morning meeting designed to emphasize a handful of boosted commission aged inventory.  The managers are funny and supportive of my personal goals even if it leads to a long dreamed different occupation.  While I was there two guys selling cars were training at flight school and now are professional pilots.  My Facebook wall is filled with friends and bosses from Ferguson who are still interested in my life and me in theirs.  We congratulate each other for events in our lives and razz at every photo just like when I worked there.  It’s like I never left.  Such great people are hard to find.  I recommend anyone to work there.

I worked at Ferguson in 2020 and through 2021.
I had been trying to break into sales for years and had not been given the chance.
After starting at Ferguson and following their training diligently I quickly began to excel.
Within two months I was already doing better than I had at any other job. By the third month I saw the value in their training and it showed. I made salesman of the month and was promoted shortly after.
Every supervisor was open and understanding and helped better me every step of the way. I finished as a Finance manager and was proud to be apart of the best Finance team in the region.
I am forever grateful for the opportunity that was given to me at Ferguson and hope they continue to grow and train outstanding sales professionals. 

I love what I do, just not who I work under. Manager is never around, when they are it’s drama and no help received. Tends to blame others for things going wrong, doesn’t listen to employees, and of course the manager is never wrong and if you prove them wrong, you’re wrong and usually without a job. Can’t keep anyone due to disrespect and we are given somewhat unrealistic expectations with how the market is currently. All we are ever told is that we suck and aren’t good enough - employees are more supportive of each other than management is. And if you’re not a manager, you get talked down to and treated like you’re nothing and ridiculous for bringing it to their attention when they talk down to you. In the process of looking somewhere else because they don’t even appreciate who they have. I don’t suggest working here, AT ALL. 

I am unsure if it is due to inexperience or uncaring but management was lazy and incompetent, regularly leaving during work hours for personal cosmetic appointments. If you work for them you will soon realize that the primary goal of the company is to put as much profit in the account of the person with their name on the side of the building. If you are there to further yourself I would suggest somewhere more competitive and respectful to their employees. They don't even maintain their buildings, the place is falling apart.

The dealership prides itself on only 1 price and by competing by being cheap. Sounds good for consumers but as employees looking to make what was offered on a pay plan? No so hot. Commissions are lower than the rest of the industry. Management is rarely available to do their portion of the paperwork, resulting in customers being burnt out waiting for approvals on numbers. Other departments respond to your required interactions as a burden on them, but it's simply their job and your job to produce a check for a customer. Aggressive religious mindset for employers to force upon employees. Base pay set for everyone and commission checks lost often.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Love working for Ferguson, there is always room for growth and opportunities to move up in your career. I love that they almost exclusively promote from within and are always looking to grow as a company. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Minimal stress compared to working at other dealerships. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Family environment. Lots of tenured employees that treat the employees as extended family. Anytime someone has an emergency or something major come up the entire dealership helps out and provides assistance in anyway needed.

I was given a golden opportunity as a Sale Associate reflecting their inclusive hiring policy! I enjoyed the sense of family AND the friendly competitiveness. I had a high level of training and management was flexible and accessible. I enjoyed representing Ferguson and Subaru and their culture of giving back to the community, The job is demanding of time and attention but the potential for income is great too. I found a high level of integrity there both in product and in the company itself. 

This company is always looking for the next cutting edge approach to be the best. Now being the best comes from expecting the best, so be expected to bring your A game everyday. In the current market we’re in there is going to be hurtles, but with communication they are figured out. I enjoy the the effort and guidance management puts in to make you the most profitable for yourself as well as the company. 6 years in, and don’t plan on going anywhere. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Ferguson is a great company to work for! They make sure their employees are well taken care of. They are so understanding when you need off for something. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I personally don’t think there is anything stressful about the job. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment is very fun and friendly!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day is very productive but also fun.

Simply put, the Company can change people’s lives. It is challenging, and requires a driven work ethic however it might be the most rewarding career you can possibly find. Everyone from the top to the bottom are all pulling in the same direction, with the same goal in mind. Very supportive while still holding you accountable to be a better you and not just professionally but also personally. Would highly recommend a career at any of the Ferguson stores.
