What do you think -- is this company going to survive and thrive? Are they looking to expand their staff, or do you think layoffs are inevitable?

How does 84 Lumber stack up against the competition?

On January 29th 2007, an area manager shows up at the Gladwin MI store and told everyone that the store is closing today. No warning nothing, this store was not losing money. The manner these that these employees have been treated since is implorable and I'm not even sure if it is legal. They are 12 to 14 hours a day to close the store with no lunch nor safety precautions. I would recomend this company for employment or even to purchase a nail.I guess somebody had to pay for the 8million dollar birthday party.

There is so much to say about 84 Lumber. Just an overview can be found at www.myspace.com/84lumberripsyouoff. Please take a look there.

If you are a former employee please let me know!

Thank you!

That site has been set up to help inform as many people as possible that 84 Lumber lies. They don't hold any promises that they make and will hang you out to dry the first chance they get.

In particular my family was made a promise by MIKE LYONS from Mississippi that our best interest was at hand. It was not at hand when my husband's store manager position was taken right out from under him for no reason but their "will to work" crap after dedicating 5 years to their business. No explanation was ever given to us.

If you are considering a job with 84 Lumber, please think twice. They will overwork you, the pay will not measure up. You will be used for as much as they can get and then put you out on the street! They will make numerous promises they cannot keep and you will be sorry you ever considered working for them, or put in one minute of your time!

If you have any questions, or would like to tell your story of how 84 Lumber ruined your life or career, feel free to let us know! I will not stop until I can let as many people know as possible how my family has been treated from 84 Lumber!

Please visit my web site!

I worked for 84 Lumber for 6 years. They are a completely mis-managed company and NO ONE should work for them unless umemployment is the other option. And unemployment is more stable.
