I worked at Premier Roofing for two years and held two different roles during my time with them.
In both of my roles, I was paid ~20% below market average. When my team asked for a raise (nothing crazy, commensurate with comp for similar roles in the area), we were told it wasn't in the budget because they didn't hit their company goals last year. Two weeks later, they were spending what I can only imagine was tens of thousands of dollars on a company party, and a month after that, they were sending dozens of salespeople to Costa Rica for an all-expenses paid trip. I've also heard multiple corporate employees claim that their "company culture makes up for pay issues." How can you claim to have a "great company culture" if you're knowingly underpaying your employees?
Massively disorganized. Things were always changing with little to no notice, and we were expected to keep up with those changes. You think after 17 years in business, they'd have some processes set in stone.
I've never worked for a more white, or more male company in my life, and there are exactly zero efforts aimed at diversity, equity, or inclusion. Both in leadership and in the entry-level sales roles.
They claim to value all of their employees, but do nothing to back up that claim. As I said before, I was underpaid as are/were many others in office roles (I personally know of half a dozen people that quit in the last year because of pay issues). They also gave us, as recruiters, no resources to do our jobs well in terms of access to things like seminars, interview training, LinkedIn Recruiter, etc. They do not foster an inclusive atmosphere for any underrepresented groups which you think they would do if they really valued ALL of their employees.
The sales reps that I was responsible for recruiting are only paid commission (no base salary), do not get PTO or sick time, and until literally a few months ago, did not have access to employer provided health insurance.
It's also time to catch up with remote work. Let your employees work remotely. Especially if you're not going to require employees to be vaccinated or wear masks. There is no firm policy on remote work. They let some people work from home, and some aren't allowed to, with no explanation.
And by the way, I did bring up every single point here to my manager and every issue was brushed under the rug, either by my manager who didn't want to bring it up the chain of command, or by leadership. I truly just want to warn people about what you're getting into. I met some great people and learned a lot (mostly what to look out for in my next job), but Premier is stuck in 2005 when they were founded. They will not be able to flourish if they continue not valuing their employees, not valuing diversity, and putting profits before people.
