Pros

If you are competent at what you do and show initiative you will be given all of the responsibility you can manage. Complacency is not rewarded, but if you continually grow you will likely be rewarded. Communication not only within your department but across the entire company is key to your success. Hiring from within happens a lot and is encouraged by management.

Cons

Hiring from within potentially occurs a little more than it should. I feel the company needs to hire more from outside the company and outside the Butte County area. They need to ensure that they are bringing in fresh perspectives and industry experience. There is a tendency for management to act based on perceptions instead of facts. This is not uncommon in business. Just be aware of it and ensure that the perceptions match the facts as much as possible. Remember that other's perceptions are their reality.

Pros are great. Being proactive and taking initiative is key! Its easy to get looked over when you are a wallflower, even if you are a beautiful one! As far as cons. I can't disagree. Often we take perceptions to be reality and act on those realities. We try and practice discipline and constraint, but emotions often run high. Its something we can continue to improve on and I appreciate you calling it out.

Pros

I joined Build.com while still in college. I thought I'd be there 6 months. That was now 12 years ago in 2003! My college job has turned in my career and Build.com provides more than enough opportunities year after year to keep me interested in staying! The excitement of the job keeps me around the people I work with get me excited to come to work everyday!

Cons

We grow fast and sometimes info doesn't make it out to the right people at the right time. Sometimes people then feel like that is by design or there is some master plan for keeping people in the dark. I promise you there isn't.

Thanks for the feedback. Agreed on the communication challenges. The bigger we get the harder it gets. We continue to have more info-sessions, and have kept cadence with our semi-annual and annual meetings, but we can do better! We are experimenting with smaller, departmental, "all hands" meetings. Hopefully that can help keep information moving faster. Thanks for the feedback.
