Pros

Our CEO and Founder is a passionate and present leader! He puts his employees first and knows that if he takes care of us, our customers are the ultimate winners! If we win, the customers win and this has been his philosophy for many years! His decisions mirror this philosphy. He's always in the office, giving of his time, and rarely takes time off! He values time off and family time, but also understands that he's responsible for well over 1000 employees and their families. He makes the time for all of us. The empIoyees come first and he recognizes that if we are happy, the customers are even more happy. I can't tell you how refreshing it is to work for someone like Dan! He is always present in the office and goes out of his way to walk the building; greeting and talking to all employees and thanking them for their contributions to the business that he and his friends have built. His decision making, the revenue investments, and the employee focus are always top of mind and we are blessed to have Dan as one of our founders and leader(s) at Buildertrend. It doesn't matter who you, what your role is, or how long you've been at Buildertrend, Dan goes out of his way to make all employees feel valued and appreciated, no matter what their role is. He never plays favorites, always operates with an open mind, and seeks out new perspectives on a regular basis to ensure he's growing along side the business. I am proud to work at BT and hope Dan continues leading us well into the future! He likely needs stronger leaders around him, but it appears he's making those changes by adding new top-level leaders over the past 18 months.

Cons

Not sure it's a con, but men dominate the workplace. It would be difficult for women to succeed and hold a position of power. Many joke that it smells like a mens locker-room, but it must not be that bad because nothing has changed in years. There are two drawbacks in the workplace that aren't ideal - 1. People do not give feedback. Good or bad. Everyone talks behind your back. It's the elephant in the room, yet everyone knows it. 2. A lot of shoulder tapping for internal positions, but those being tapped rarely get the job. We laugh, joke about it, lose respect for those that do this, keep out mouths shut, but know that at some point our CEO will find out what's happening, start asking the right questions, and work to make internal changes. There is NO way he would tolerate this type of behavior from his top leaders.

Pros

C-Suite truly cares about the customer, employee well-being, and making the correct decisions (even though they are difficult). Plenty of opportunity for advancement and a lot of really great people to work with.

Cons

Company strategy has been a bit scattershot and unfocused, especially in the past. New leaders have brought focus and the product is improving.
