Pros

Build.com is the best company I have ever worked for, and I have worked for a few around Chico. They pay decently for the area, the benefits package is great, and there are quite a few fringe benefits such as employee parties, free food days, and more rewards for reaching goals. They really try to take care of their employees, which is something all of my previous jobs have not done. If you work hard, are ambitious, and have a vision that aligns with company goals, you might very well find yourself champion of that idea. Build gives its employees the opportunity to be heard and bring about change. I started at the bottom and worked my way up, and in the process have been allowed to mold and shape my own position. There is an amazing culture at Build, one that you would be hard pressed to find in another workplace in this area.

Cons

Like all newer companies, Build still has some growing pains. Life at Build can change quickly. If you are doing something one way today, it could be done a completely different way a week from now. It can be stressful to stay on top of everything. Also, the company is growing so quickly that we are running out of room, which, admittedly, is a good problem to have.

Pros

Great culture - Work hard, play hard

Cons

The majority of the company is located in Chico, which is an outstanding place to live! But if you aren't interested in relocating there aren't a lot of positions available!
