IDX: 0 TOT: 26
What's one thing you wish you'd known before joining 84 Lumber?
How they treated their employees - employee benefits.
What is the PTO policy at 84 Lumber?
Terrible. Vacation and Sick Time. Neither carries over from year to year. In the first 2 years (including the year that you're hired) is shockingly low - as in a day or two for an entire year of vacation. After 2 years you get 10 days of vacation given to you on Jan 1 of the year. After 5 years, you get your birthday off (paid). I believe the maximum vacation time is 2 weeks + sick time. Sick time cannot be used in lieu of vacation time.
