Avantages

The people you get to work with are great. There is great exposure to design work and responsibility for those just getting out of school or with little experience. Your hours are flexible and your vacation and personal time is easily used. You can even use your sick days how you please.

Inconvénients

Unfortunately Builders Design is a made-to-fail environment. Project timelines are absurdly short and you are expected to perform miracles with each one. Projects are low budget projects for the most part. There are no yearly raises no matter what they promise you at interview time. When you travel be prepared to share a room with your supervisor or co-worker (disrespectful practice). The hours are absurd (50-60 on a slow week) and no boundaries for your personal life. They will ask you to work a holiday if there is an "emergency" but everything and every project is made to feel like an "emergency". They have false family values and do not care about you; the only employees they truly care about are the golden girls that have been working there forever everyone else is just chicken liver. This company only cares about their bottom line but they're management is so all over the place they are doomed to stay in the same place. On a smaller note: You must perform all of your duties in a very run-down, dirty, smelly, and ugly salmon colored environment.

Avantages

Great culture, lovely people, creative environment, hands-on experience! Great for those that need to WFH. The management is very approachable and responsive. It’s a great place to work.

Inconvénients

SOP needs some work, they need to improve the way that they communicate and streamline their process, every department has its own method of communication either through PowerPoint forms or Teams Planner cards. It doesn’t feel cohesive and causes a lot of confusion, to the point where most people (even those who have been working there for many years) don’t know who to reach out to for different things. They need to improve the way they do their budget forms, their furniture estimates and excels are a bit convoluted and difficult to work in.
