Builders FirstSource Employer Reviews

A typical day at work is so busy the day only seems like it is 4 hours long.

I have learned that the bottomline is more important than the employees. Was very saddened to learn this.

Management above my level needs some class.

Co-Workers and employees were awesome.

The hardest part of the job was having to let key people go to free up funds.

Going – more... to work everyday. – less

Very busy making sure we filled packages for the inside of homes. Learned alot about how to make the products and how to put togerther packages. Learned how to manage production and make sure that quality work was done. Managed several co-workers and taught them how to build products. Hardest part of the job was making sure that we always had what we – more... needed in stock and that everyone was doing their part to keep the process going. Most enjoyable part was seeing the production of items come to life. – less

This was a very physically demanding and face-paced workplace yet I seemed to enjoy it very much.

I loved my work experience there, but had to leave because of personal reasons not associated with job. If I have a chance to go back now that everything is back to normal I would take it.

It is a good company to work with. The employees are very hard workers and very committed.

Enjoyed working with management within the company
allowed you to make your own decisions

Great immediate supervisors but horrible upper management. Upper management does not care about the guys doing the hard work to keep money coming in. No bonuses and no raises in company in 5 yrs. Place wants employees to work to the point of exhaustion and gives no reward for doing so.

I was a driver for this company.
loading and unloading material

I had many responsibilities. I ended up moving to Indianapolis to be office manager to start up a new division. My responsibilities included all HR responsibilities at the Indy division and sending all correct paperwork to our corporate office in Texas. Had to leave and come back to Ohio because division closed.

the job i liked, the people i worked with were great the company overall not so good

Poor economic conditions have caused company reduction in work force. Many employees, with over seven years experience, have been laid off. Healthcare costs and the price of gas have reduced income. Along with no wage increases, since 2008, for all mill workers and drivers.Having a job is still better than not having one, so watch your back.

A leader in providing material and service in the construction industry.

Load and unload trucks. Recieve shipments. Deliver orders. Builds windows and doors.

I enjoyed working for Builders. The salesman, truss engineers, management and administrative staff were fun and upbeat. Always a smile on everyones face. My typical day at work started at 8 a.m. We would start our day off with a meeting, discussing the upcoming day. I would input truss orders first thing in the morning for the following day. File anything – more... that needed to be filed. Answer phones. Run errands. I did anything that needed to be done. I succeeded in getting my job done daily. – less
