Pros

Decent compensation, good benefits, some training classes offered.

Cons

I read an article not long ago that perfectly described my experience working for this company. Build.com "is a workplace culture that encourages fraternal “old boy networks” that inclusively support and encourage networking with fellow males and while at the same time, block female employees from participating in the male-dominated decision-making circles. Bro culture supports the exclusion of women to foster and support values that maintain “the way we always done things around here.” This adage is often actualized as a barrier that rejects difference to maintain the comfortable “company way” of conducting business". You want to talk about politics in a corporate office? This place has got it. I've seen way too many good people (genuinely good, hard-working people) get mistreated here. Nobody wants to speak up because of fear of losing their job and unfortunately it's cultivated an uncomfortable workplace environment. The feeling of anonymity, irrelevance and immeasurement has truly classified this company as a miserable place to work.

Pros

Life / work balance is good here. Unfortunately that literally is about it. I mean seriously I am trying to think of why YOU should come work here...no one else will hire you? Other than that most people can do a hell of a lot better.

Cons

This is the dumbest billion dollar company I have ever known. Most people literally do not know why they are working on the things they are. Oh and if you have a super awesome idea that could likely change the foundation of the company for the better....well be prepared to get laughed at and then have an "executive" own that idea sometime in the future and take all the credit for it. The pay here compared to industry standards is an absolute joke and you can fully expect to do the job you were hired for and at least a few others. But DO NOT expect to get compensated for that. Oh you can also only get a raise during a very short period ONCE per year....lolol. ABSOLUTE joke. Even during this period daddy Ferguson tells all managers to rate employees just under the raise threshold and to not give any out. This is regardless of how you perform. You're lucky to get a cost of living raise here. Like really lucky.

Pros

There are not any pros with this job. Terrible work place

Cons

Company needs ethic training. Men do not deal well or know how to interact with black women. None of your concerns will be address. Lied about comp plan. Certain options are only offered to certain people. It’s a boys club. I had a whole sexual harassment case and no one looked into or followed up with my concerns. Management is a bunch of men who have no real life skills outside of build. Terrible pay and forced overtime. Please don’t get sick or you will be treated differently or asked to resign. Terrible terrible job. Forced to fight other reps for commission. Please do not ask questions you will be talked to in very condescending tones.
