Review from Admin Dept · Posted a month ago

Freedom to get the job done and not micromanaged.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted a month ago

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

Better pay for the work. More recognition especially for those, other than salesman, that have been with the company for many years. Celebrate differences at the local level. There is a lot of positivity at the corporate level but not at the local warehouses/yards.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 22 days ago

Either replace the manager or have that individual take some serious classes on how to be one. Issues include lack of confidentiality and professionalism.

Review from Finance Dept · Posted a month ago

We have some employees here that have helped build this store for many years and are very knowledgeable about how to make a customer happy to return. Those ideas from us should be considered in our everyday operations and not just told that it's not the direction the company is going.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted a month ago

Management allows favorite employees to do whatever they want without consequences, while holding other employees accountable to the same offenses

Review from Admin Dept · Posted a month ago

Pay is terrible. See the pattern here?

Review from Customer Success Dept · Posted a month ago

There is no communication between departments

Review from Operations Dept · Posted a month ago

Every time a new system is introduced, it doesn't seem like it had been tested thoroughly. There aren't answers for items that should have been looked at before things are rolled out. It doesn't seem like management feels they should ask the actual users what is important for us to get the job don

Review from Finance Dept · Posted a month ago

Work is work, what's to be excited about? We all work remotely so no human contact

Review from Engineering Dept · Posted a month ago

better recognition, better communication, less micromanagement

Review from Product Dept

Morale is terrible. Folks constantly being forced to step up and do more with little to no "thanks". Constant feeling that you could lose your job at any time. Show some appreciation! Invest in your people! Folks working from home cause more work for those who show up daily. Period. Ask us!

Review from Operations Dept

Company or manager trust and better pay

Review from Sales Dept

the immediate management has no idea what the work is and is very rude and condescending. The company let tenured BFS employees go while hiring and retaining contractors. It makes no sense. The people remaining are left to pick up the pieces.

Review from IT Dept

Leadership has lost our buy in. They're so focused on digital and dollars. They've lost focus on the TM in front of them. Outside sales can do absolutely no wrong, and other teams like inside sales and pricing are constantly being kicked down.

Review from Sales Dept

There's been a lot of changes in our region and we seem to be kept in the dark on what that holds for our future. Employees see things changing but management never communicates or gives us reassurance to know we are stable at the company.

Review from Admin Dept

Commissions need to be high. Maternity leave should NOT be better for salaried employees compared to hourly. Get to know the people and understand what fuels them.

Review from Sales Dept

More communication is needed. Proper training of all employees.

Review from Admin Dept

negative attitudes not sure how to change

Review from Sales Dept

to pay more to cordinators

Review from Sales Dept

Morale seems low and I hear people complaining a lot. I am not sure if other people are unhappy with their jobs or just unhappy. Work is very slow and that seems to be causing stress

Review from Admin Dept

Our store needs to improve employee morale. Dead weight employees need to be addressed heavily.
