Pros

Build.com really takes care of their employees. Good benefits Good pay Often buy lunch for all employees Often hosts events for employees Very flexible scheduling

Cons

I can't really think of anything bad to say about the company. If I had to say something I would say that it seems like management is not always in agreement about the organization of the company. Not enough paid Holidays

Pros

I came on six months ago and have already been promoted from Data Specialist to a management position. This company is growing so fast, there are tons of opportunities for the go-getter or the employee with management experience! This company is so SUPPORTIVE of the creative process! I see something to fix, have an idea to fix it, the gates are open for me to run with it. If I succeed, we all win; if I fail, I'm not punished (as long as I fail honestly and admit it before too much damage is done). Work can be boring. Build.com makes it as palatable as possible with: free organic fruits delivered weekly, a keg of Sierra Nevada every Friday, fully stocked kitchens, adjustable-height desks (so I can stand up and move around while I work), ping pong, darts, PS2, competitions, FREE CLASSES, free fresh-ground coffee, and frequent events.

Cons

Well, it is still WORK.

Its nice to occasionally get an "Atta boy" rather than railed here on GD. Great comments and great feedback. We're guilty of all of the above. I try and draw out the wallflowers, because I agree, they do sometimes have the best ideas. Thanks for your support!

Pros

When you love your job, you never work a day in your life. Been over five years and I still look forward to the next day at work. Time flies by because you're so busy, but my favorite part, is getting to help people every day.

Cons

Sometimes clients think it's your fault UPS didn't get there in time or something broke in transit.
