Great Company - Low Salaries

Project manager - installations
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Builders FirstSource is a great company to work for. The learning and networking opportunities are vast. The company will set you up with the training and certifications you need to be successful. Internal hiring and promotion preferences make it more challenging for newcomers looking for management positions, but not impossible. The wide variety of roles inside the company make for a great environment to grow and learn.

Cons

Salaries are not competitive with the market by a landslide. As a project manager for installed support, I am responsible for supervising installations in 40+ subdivisions within a six county area in North Carolina. My offered starting salary was $55,000 without any room for negotiation or signing bonus.

I can see a great future here - please keep listening to employees!

Pros

In the past 30 years of my career I've never been able to envision a truly long-term opportunity at a company - at BFS, I finally see a future. My team members are fantastic, there is plenty of work to do and lots of opportunities to learn new things. Yes, implementing SAP is a headache in many areas, local and corporate. But I truly believe BFS has what it takes to get this new system running smoothly.

Cons

If you had asked me at the beginning of the year, I would've said I could see myself staying here until retirement. The only thing is, the CEO has recently mentioned implementing (enforcing?) a complete return-to-office after many years of a successful hybrid model. I don't think anything is broken by having people work some days at home, why try to fix something that is making many of your employees happy? I've seen plenty of times where leadership at BFS listens to employees - I sincerely hope this is one of the times they listen.

Pros

The option of working from your home when the requirements are met. Ability to advance your career in other directions or geographic area.

It's a big company and keeps getting bigger.
