Review from Design Dept

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

Leadership needs to actually listen to the employees when they bring up concerns or suggestions to best practices. There is a huge disconnect between what management says is going to happen and what actually takes place on a daily basis.

Review from Design Dept

Leadership team needs to do a better job of connecting the advertised goals of the company to an individual's efforts. There needs to be more training of team members to allow them to better contribute to achieving the company's goals.

incentive to push for more

Review from Design Dept

Healthcare benefits and 401 (k) portfolio

Review from Design Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

I can provide more than what is asked of me.

Review from Design Dept

I have been on a bonus structure that rewarded me when our plant performed well. Now with changes that have been made in my area I have no Idea if I still have a bonus incentive and if I do how it is measured.

Review from Design Dept

There is no wage transparency at this company, and I feel that the company takes advantage of that to suppress wages.

Review from Design Dept

coming from Trussway. the company would have a Trussway health account where it would cover some of you deductible and it was nice. With BFS record profits more than a cost of living increase would be nice instead of stock by back making the stock holders richer.

Review from Design Dept

For the value me and my small team create as a whole, there should definitely be different pay structure. Benefits aren't super competitive.

Review from Design Dept

What are some of the best things about your team?

Team Reviews

Everyone is kind and willing to help at what they can.

Review from Design Dept · Posted 6 days ago

willing to go the extra mile when needed

Review from Design Dept

I enjoy the attitudes of some members of my team. When an issue arises, they concentrate on how to fix it rather than proving they didn't cause it.

Review from Design Dept

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Team Reviews

There needs to be more training to allow for coworkers to be acting in a uniform fashion, and therefore have similar expectations of their abilities.

Review from Design Dept

Sales staff needs to be accountable for their decisions, and hold the customer accountable for their change orders and ever-evolving project parameters.

Review from Design Dept

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Review from Design Dept

I get to work on a variety of projects. Even though I have done this job for over a decade. I learn at least one new thing every week.

Review from Design Dept

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Outlook Reviews

The corporate vision is not being executed on the lower levels, so there is a disconnected feeling when it comes to what the company says versus what we at the lower levels are actually doing...

Review from Design Dept

Better organization for this large of company should be paramount and is not practiced at a level I expected.

Review from Design Dept

There is a serious disconnect between the "corporate image" that is presented to the world, and the actuality of working here to achieve positive results.
