Build.com brought an excellent opportunity for me to grow in an industry I never thought I'd be a part of. It's allowed me to develop countless skills from excel and HTML to photo shopping and merchandising. These are invaluable skills; If you can come up at build.com you can find a job in E-Retail anywhere in the nation, especially since you will have the contact info of everyone in the business!
If you are looking to work hard and be recognized for it Build.com is the place in the North State to be. By far the best employer I've had in Chico and the people are great!
Cons
Leadership in general around Build struggles. It's a symptom of the get sh** done culture and having everyone be a 'Doer'. Those that can 'figure it out' excel and those that can't flounder with little assistance without a disproportionate level of "Help me!"

Great review and thank you. Good advice as well as how to deal with our "doer" culture as well. Its a symptom of that and we can do better. I'm sorry to hear about any bonus backsliding. We are constantly turning programs for increased performance, but at a macro level, bonus comp continues to grow every single year per associate.
competitive pay for the area, excellent work atmosphere once you rise above entry level positions, great opportunity to create and maximize your own positions, lots of perks on the job site including provided fruit and veggies as well as fun activities
Cons
management is hit or miss, sometimes the loudest voice is the most listened to instead of the smartest, a lot of miscommunication between departments regarding goals, tactics and methods of operations
