Builders FirstSource reviews about "manager"

Micromanagement, lots of verbal abuse from manager and verbal abuse and threats of physical violence from shop foreman. Top managers at location say "oh, thats just so and so" as if it makes it okay. Pay is less than at sheetz, long hours

Some of the sales force lacks motivation and organization which sometimes puts a strain on the design work.

Long work weeks couple managers seemed clueless on there jobs. Not organized

Poor coorporate management and lack of feedback

The finance/accounting department here is very lean. For around 70 field locations, the corporate office only has five staff accountants. While this does afford you great opportunity to gain exposure to a great and varied deal of material, it also means that there's little opportunity to advance beyond the staff accounting level. Granted, as of this review (06/2015), I am NOT yet a CPA. I understand full well that without professional certification, there's a definite limut to how far someone can advance in this field. That does bring up another con, if you view it that way. BFS doesn't offer any kind of tuition reimbursement program. It's my understanding that such programs are beginning to fall by the wayside, which is unfortunate given the expense of a college education, but I certainly understand it - just as I'm hesitant to increase my student loan debt burden, I can understand any company's unwillingness to spend that kind of money on their employees.

Since the merger, the waters are a little murky in management. Tell you one thing, do something completely different. Feels a little like moving ten steps back to take two steps forward.
