Pros

This was my first job after I graduated from Chico State. I was hired as an Inside Sales Rep. Great company. I felt like the culture there was very positive. The motto was "Take care of the customer" and "Principles not policies." They had very clear and attainable sales goals with a commission schedule that created a clear incentive to reward hard work. They really focused on creating a culture of honesty and fairness. They were a rapidly growing internet retail company and they firmly believed in Zappos-like "WOW experience" customer service. I felt like it was a great company to work with. Good sales managers. They almost always chose to err on the side of the customer and believed firmly in creating a pleasant and truthful shopping experience. Good coworkers too.

Cons

I think pay was a little low, but I did get several raises in the 1.5 years I worked there. They were making a LOT of money and seemed to always be hiring and expanding. I do feel that the CEO and Executive Team was sort of an elite circle and I got the impression that they were all making six figures while the rest of us were making something in the low to mid 20's. But still, I was thankful for the job, and I could see that there was genuine opportunity for promotion and learning new skills.

Pros

Build has a great atmosphere and most of the employees contribute to making a better product; customer experience. I was fortunate that I worked in a wonderful team, where everyone helped each other improve professionally.

Cons

It's corporate in the sense that the founder sold the company and the bottom line is just that. Raises weren't offered because of under-performance of sales, which isn't necessarily the fault of the staff. And, if you want to get ahead, buy into the culture. All that said, because of the limited options in the ratings, I do approve of the CEO and would recommend it as a possible employer. If nothing else, you'll gain some good experience.

Pros

Great pay to start but long term not so much, beautiful work environment, you can live off the free food they give you its so good, most coworkers are awesome

Cons

You can work there 5 years and not get a raise unless you ask, management has some serious communication issues, policies always changing and they are not loyal to their employees even if theyve been there forever
