      Great Company - Low Salaries

      Pros

      Builders FirstSource is a great company to work for. The learning and networking opportunities are vast. The company will set you up with the training and certifications you need to be successful. Internal hiring and promotion preferences make it more challenging for newcomers looking for management positions, but not impossible. The wide variety of roles inside the company make for a great environment to grow and learn.

      Cons

      Salaries are not competitive with the market by a landslide. As a project manager for installed support, I am responsible for supervising installations in 40+ subdivisions within a six county area in North Carolina. My offered starting salary was $55,000 without any room for negotiation or signing bonus.

      Pros

      The actual work I was doing was interesting and challenging. Pace was very fast and I was always busy which made the time go by very quickly.

      Cons

      Biggest bunch of hypocrites that I have ever worked with. They interview like they only want to hire people who are positive and like to collaborate and work as a team. Had maybe two departmental meeting the entire time I was there. Met with my boss, a maximum of three times in two years. Nobody in the department talked to one another and constantly gossiping behind closed doors. Work was not a priority to anyone there. Such a great company with such terrible leadership.
