Pros

Since the QXO acquisition, that culture has deteriorated significantly. The environment feels cold and hierarchical, and many of us from the Beacon team are struggling to find our place in the new structure. The approach to leadership and decision-making now feels top-down and unapproachable, with a culture that seems to center around unwavering deference to the CEO, rather than open collaboration or innovation. Morale has declined, and what once felt like a mission-driven team now feels like a fragmented organization with little room for differing perspectives. We’ve lost much of what made Beacon special.

Cons

Beacon was an incredibly well-run organization with a collaborative, effective culture. Unfortunately, after the QXO acquisition, many of the changes implemented have felt arbitrary and out of step with industry best practices. There’s been a shift toward working harder rather than smarter, with little regard for employee well-being or operational efficiency. Many of the new structures and decisions seem to disregard what was already working — a classic case of 'fixing what wasn’t broken.' Morale has plummeted, and the environment has become rigid, top-down, and discouraging. If you're considering joining, think carefully. The current culture does not support innovation or genuine collaboration. Proceed with caution

Pros

Highly recommend not working here. The people that work here are extremely difficult to deal with. You will get yelled and screamed at on the daily and will always be in the wrong. Your opinion doesn’t matter and If you speak you will be spoken over. When you work here you will be treated as if you are nothing.

Cons

The worst job I ever had. No communication between office and warehouse employees. You will be scrutinized and criticized on the daily. If you are up In the office you can do no wrong. Anyone outside of the office will be humiliated and scolded like a child for any small mistake they make. Very unprofessional and immature work culture that aims to make the job more difficult then it needs to be with constant demoralization and micro management. If you speak up with any opinion or comment that challenges upper management you will be targeted and abuse of their power will be used against you. No room for growth is attainable at this company, whatever position you get hired as is the one you will stay at.
