Builders FirstSource Sales Department Employee Reviews

What do you like best about the leadership team?

Leadership Reviews

I like everything about them.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 13 days ago

They come out of the office and speak to us on a regular basis. They treat us like people, not just a number.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 18 days ago

They trust me to do what needs to be done and generally don't micro manage.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 20 days ago

The honesty and empathy. Any manager can be "nice" or encouraging. This executive team is genuine and, like any of us, are doing the best they can.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 21 days ago

experienced team leading the company

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 22 days ago

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

No favoritism, less hiding behind company polices

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 25 days ago

The leadership team needs to remember there is a person behind the spreadsheet. There is more to being a leader than having a good P/L sheet.

Review from Sales Dept

I mean my direct manager is good, I have no clue who the executive team is besides who Peter Jackson is, They don't bother to leave the comfort of HQ or their at home comfort jobs where all they do is teams meetings all day. How can you really be a leader with out even meeting who you lead

Review from Sales Dept

Listening and recognizing the individuals. There are ups and downs in every market. We celebrated so hard when we hit those highs, but now that we've come down, it feels like we are continuously getting our teeth kicked in.

Review from Sales Dept

Take an interest in the person and not the amount of money you will bring in for the month.

Review from Sales Dept

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Compensation Reviews

The health insurance is really good.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 13 days ago

health insurance is reasonably priced.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 18 days ago

The base salary paired with the vehicle allowance. Truly great things to have as an outside salesperson.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 21 days ago

The pay is pretty good for the market here.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 22 days ago

I would have to say the health insurance.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 23 days ago

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

Compensation Reviews

the vehicle reimbursements program is severely lacking. Competitor are offering double to monthly allotment and much better milage. Also, basing this off a mid-sized SUV is wrong. Any good lumber/door salesman should be driving a truck. Company trucks were the best option for customer service.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 22 days ago

The pay is lower than someone with my qualifications should be making, the raises are so tiny they are barely even noticeable, and you must wait a full year to get a raise, regardless of circumstances or progress made over the first few months. VERY frustrating because that locks you into low pay.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 24 days ago

I was not hired for what I wanted and I was told I would get there and yet 1 later I am not!

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 25 days ago

The number of workload-sales that is completed/done does not represent the compensation that should be provided.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 25 days ago

Never know when you will be paid

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 25 days ago

What are some of the best things about your team?

Team Reviews

We all get a long great and work well together.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 13 days ago

we are all pretty much like minded. a lot of diversity in ethnicities, and everyone likes to cut up, but we still get the job done. it makes the days go by better.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 18 days ago

that we work well as a team to ensure we all win

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 20 days ago

I have met so many good people here. They are easy to be friends with and capable in their respective positions.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 21 days ago

friendship developed over the years.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 22 days ago

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

Team Reviews

There is a lot of finger pointing and not of a lot of accountability

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 25 days ago

letting us continue to work from home

Review from Sales Dept

Very young kids with no experience.

Review from Sales Dept

there is no team environment here, and it is not encouraged by any management or supervisors.

Review from Sales Dept

Most are extremely lazy. There is no sense of urgency. Let me go to lunch, shop online, chat on phone smoke cigarette, or talk with co workers BEFORE I take care of customers!! And there is seemingly no manager around to reprimand or fire these people. Discouraging for others that love this co.

Review from Sales Dept

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

Environment Reviews

We all get along great and work well together.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 13 days ago

dealing with the public. you get a good mix of people.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 18 days ago

technology 1st philosophy a a

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 20 days ago

The people who work there.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 21 days ago

it was that people truly count and how we took care of the customers. Now it feels like operations is far more important

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 22 days ago

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

Better pay, better benefits, more accountability

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 25 days ago

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 20 days ago

Closing a big deal or working together to SOLVE a problem (or fire, if you will).

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 21 days ago

dealing with customers and helping them achieve their goals.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 22 days ago

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

Outlook Reviews

Company or manager trust and better pay

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 25 days ago

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

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

negative attitudes not sure how to change

Review from Sales Dept

to pay more to cordinators
