Pros

Good culture, everyone you work with is laid back and its easy to make friends in office.

Cons

Long hours are not stated in interview, they say its 11 to 7 but in reality its 10 to 8 and more with driving times. The job itself is super stressful which is underestimated in interview, going around pitching and bothering people to coerce them into taking an estimate, also you are not being truthful to people by telling them its a short easy process but in reality it takes three or more hours with a salesman hardselling the product. Its all just a long script that they get as many recent college grads to sell. If you want to spend four years in college getting a good degree to become a door to door salesman or walk around a bjs in an apron then power is for you. If not go find a real job. The pay also kinda sucks when you take in how many hours you work and how stressful it is, especially after taxes.

Pros

After 15 years with the company, the biggest positive has always been the employee-focused culture. They genuinely invest in creating a good work environment, from modern office spaces and great amenities to company events, conferences, and even trips that help build team culture. The flexibility in BT to work remotely part of the week has been a huge benefit for work-life balance, especially with a family. Compensation is competitive within the home remodeling industry, and the company offers solid benefits like 401K and private health insurance. There are also opportunities to grow and learn if you’re willing to put in the effort.

Cons

One challenge is that career growth and promotions don’t always align with seniority or long-term loyalty, which can sometimes feel discouraging after many years with the company. For employees in tech-focused roles, compensation can feel a bit below market compared to the broader tech industry, even though bonuses can help offset that in strong years. Raises without a promotion are usually modest, and while the health insurance is decent overall, coverage for some major medical needs could definitely be improved.
