      Pros

      Casual dress - jeans everyday.

      Cons

      Cost savings is all they care about! They don't want to invest in technology and they are trying to run a large company with small company mentality. They don't value their employees or their knowledge and expertise. During acquisition period, they aren't making good business decisions based on other's knowledge and understanding of processes. Lack of planning becomes urgent situation for other people. Again, it's all about cost saving! Communication in this company is the WORST I have ever seen!!

      Pros

      The compensation and annual bonus were very competitive.

      Cons

      Very immature organization in spite of being Fortune 500 company. Builders FirstSource is the most politically charged environment I've ever worked in. Bias and preferential treatment towards certain employees rivals the most severe cases of nepotism. The senior leaders in the IT organization, as well as other business unit leaders ( including within HR), completely lack ethics. If you seek a professional environment, BFS is definitely not the right choice.
