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.

Pros

In the past 30 years of my career I've never been able to envision a truly long-term opportunity at a company - at BFS, I finally see a future. My team members are fantastic, there is plenty of work to do and lots of opportunities to learn new things. Yes, implementing SAP is a headache in many areas, local and corporate. But I truly believe BFS has what it takes to get this new system running smoothly.

Cons

If you had asked me at the beginning of the year, I would've said I could see myself staying here until retirement. The only thing is, the CEO has recently mentioned implementing (enforcing?) a complete return-to-office after many years of a successful hybrid model. I don't think anything is broken by having people work some days at home, why try to fix something that is making many of your employees happy? I've seen plenty of times where leadership at BFS listens to employees - I sincerely hope this is one of the times they listen.
