Pros

We actually have it pretty good at Build.com. People just don't understand we are no longer in start up mode and that we are competing with the big dogs now. Everyone wants to hold onto what Build "use to be" under an immature leader. Leadership has been fairly transparent, at least my manager has been that as a business we are short of where we need to be. Why would a company reward its employees for being in the red? Plain and simple you want fun, you want perks, you want to be rewarded for doing a good job, then do a good job. Let's stop complaining and start selling!

Cons

Some managers have a clue, others do not

Pros

Used to be the best company to work for but there arent any Pros anymore

Cons

They took away all the great employee perks like the annual block party, Holiday party, and the cool contests, prizes, and swag. Pay cuts for no valid reason. Micro-managing EVERYTHING! Ascentis is the worst thing ever created. It feels like we are being punished to go to work. Even if you shattered your quota every month they still nit pick stupid little things and dont give you credit when credit is due. Since Chris Friedland left it's been an absolute downward spiral. It doesnt feel like upper management cares about its employees. It feels like no one takes responsibility for their actions, they just push the blame to someone else. If you go to someone telling them that their multi-billion dollars business's website needs to be fixed they say "Oh sorry thats not up to me that someone elses thing" and then when you go to that person they make some excuse as to why they havent fixed it yet when in reality its because they are lazy and the way the company is structured they dont care about making the website better and more user friendly they just care about hitting their quotas. The whole company is in a very bad way and company morale is at the lowest I have ever seen it. Everyone knows that management has screwed everything up and that all the employees hate working here, but none of them care. They only care about their paychecks.

Pros

Awesome perks with events and food Good benefits and insurance Work ethic is good

Cons

Structure of pay is always changing and it seems like it's harder to obtain. Though you don't work any less hard so its not for a lack of moral.
