Pros

discount on (overpriced) building materials if you don't have a high school or college degree, there are opportunities for you

Cons

Likes to brag about being a "family" company, but really they don't care at all about your family life. Hours are 7am-5pm for every position. Zero flexibility. And you better be on time. Don't even bother asking to work from home. You have to be clean shaven and cover your tattoos. You must wear the logo every day, but you have to buy logod shirts yourself. Pay is below average, especially for the hours, and you won't get an end of year bonus even when the company has record sales years. 401k match is a joke (usually 3% but sometimes it's 0%. You won't know until it's too late). Health coverage is average coverage but expensive. 2 days off for the birth of a child (hurray for being a woman owned family company). Paid holidays include one day for Christmas, one day for New Years, one day for Thanksgiving and one day for the 4th, Labor day and memorial day. So say goodbye to your 2 precious weeks of PTO if you want to spend time with your loved ones for the holidays.

Pros

Good benefits, pay is decent. If you work from home FT as a Manager , you can also run your own business while on the clock get paid for it. Who wouldn't want to work there.

Cons

You can work your butt off, put in more hours than you should and get no respect in return.
