Vantaggi

I met some truly great people at Build.com

Svantaggi

No job security as they fire as many people as they hire. Most of the supervisors have been employed with the company less than a year and therefore are not as helpful/knowledgeable as they should be. HR is a complete joke. If you want to succeed in this company you have to be a major brown noser

Guilty as charged. With over 600 people in Chico, we don't please all of the people all of the time, and its human nature to go out of your way to vet grievances. Glassdoor is a great place to do so. However, of those 600, there are a lot of people who are having a great time at Build.com and really think we're a premium employer ( myself included.) I told them that if they wanted to leave feedback please do! No arm twisting, no veiled threats, no "must be a positive review" talk. So yes, the positive reviews came pouring in. Of course they would, we really strive to make Build.com a great place to work. In fact, Glassdoor give me the ability to send their template out to everyone. I may do it again today. All that being said, it sounds like you are having a really poor experience here. The advice I can offer is that if you are in sales, and you are hitting really great sales numbers, there should be nothing stopping you from advancing and your job should be secure. If you are missing numbers, and looking for help from HR, its likely that sales may not be a department that suits you. Maybe you could apply for a role in data, marketing, or brand management? Thank you for the advice, but I'm unclear on what happened that effected you in a way that was negative? We are growing so we're always adding headcount and employees and I'm not quite clear on what people are worried about? If you are worried about your position because you are struggling with sales, as I mentioned, another department may be a better path for you. Regardless, we appreciate everything you do, and I hope you are able to communicate your concerns in a way that solves your grievances with Build.

Vantaggi

The most transparent and supportive company I've ever worked for. Generous with bonuses and raises. Management will support your growth within the company and paint you a path to get where you want to go

Svantaggi

There isn't a single con that I experienced except for how I was let go. Recent raises, praises, never took a day off and even corporate recognition only a few weeks before my firing.

Vantaggi

My manager is excellent. She promote work life balance and the inclusiveness of the team. She understands that life happens and something’s are beyond our control. She encourages honest opinions and frustrations to be shared so she can do what she can to help with that. The pay is decent but does not equal the amount of work on a daily between excessive emails and 40 plus calls a day. Working remote is a plus as a single mother with very little help it allows me to get my kids on and off the bus and take them to appointments as needed. There is a lot of internal support in the form of share point.

Svantaggi

Now to the bad. There seems to be very little upward mobility for long time employees. There are a lot of recent changes occurring with the merging of Ferguson and not all of it is good. The showroom employees are not on the same page as we are on how certain returns work and that causes a lot of confusion and discord with the customers which those of us on the phones have to deal with. There is plenty of lateral movement but that would require having to go to a whole new manager and start over learning their way of doing things. The same expectations are not across the board in all departments as far as responding in a timely manor to direct messages or even responding at all. CE is the low man on the totem pole and made to feel that way with the daily operations and not given the same respect as others in the company. The shift bid process is arcane and should be based off of seniority not KPI. All of the calls do not require “qualifying”. We have to deal with a lot of rude entitled customers when telling them no to something just to pass them over to OOTP and they get their way anyway 9 out of 10 times. And most importantly they changed over the phone system and Genesys is awful. Multiple dropped calls daily and zero visibility for our daily adherence to make sure we are on track to stay within our 85% required schedule. I am very good at my job I used to enjoy being able to fix the complex issues I come in contact with daily and now it follows me to bed worrying what’s coming next.
