Disparity between departments fractures the whole of the company into conflicting factions. Management is often preoccupied with social pursuits and personal life concerns. Employees that work hard and learn constantly go unappreciated, while employees who soak up company money doing little to nothing face no repercussions. Department productivity matters to management less than PR safety and social hierarchies. Advancement only comes to employees with the brownest noses who kiss up to ranking staff rather than a basis of their contribution to production, efficiency, or the company’s better interest. Very unprofessional leadership that refuses to listen to the workers doing the work, and refuses to admit or make changes when they make poor decisions. Work environment is hostile and the management seems to foster tensions between employees to distract from tensions between staff and the company or management. Would not recommend applying until major changes occur in leadership goals and perspectives.

I worked here for 12 years. I worked all the way up to management. I thought I would finally get the respect that I had earned. I was wrong. I spent one year as a team leader and in that time I received little to no training, was constantly disrespected by my "boss" and was even lectured about using my vacation and personal time wisely when we had just had a kid, my father was hospitalized with critical life threatening conditions, and my whole family was extremely sick with Covid. This company expects too much from its employees and doesn't care about anything other than profits. 12 years of my life wasted.

The people were very nice to work with but some would do some inappropriate stuff then you’d get in trouble for it. Was very drama filled even when you tried to avoid it. I got in trouble for somebody that I never talked to saying I spoke to them. As well very incompetent people. They don’t know the difference of what is safe and not safe. They also belittle you for fun.They need more experience people in management and safety. Until they get that they will constantly lose people. Also, if you join this company learn to use the CYA method because people will lie and throw you under the bus for no reason. When everybody at the building tells you how much they don’t like their job that’s a big sign and I’m glad I listened before I got stuck.

Overall, it’s a great and rewarding place to work. The people are fantastic. The facility is inviting using up to date technology and equipment. Production is heavily influenced by the construction climate; workloads fluctuate with the building seasons. There’s always one or more departments that are busy providing hours for those departments that maybe slower. With the unprecedented 2020/2021 construction boom things have been busy this year so lots of work available. The great benefits, revenue share bonuses, opportunities for advancement, and team activities, are nice ways to feel appreciated.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of this company is the other employees and the work itself is pretty easy.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management is a mess, people always quitting and pushing things off til there a major problem.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is nice and clean but the culture is if your not a Bayer then your replaceable and hold no value.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Start at 7am get done anywhere from 3:30pm to 6pm, work til done but never know cuz they never tell you they added work til you think your done for the day

Awesome work environment with a genuinely supportive team. From day one, I felt welcomed and respected. Management is approachable, communicative, and truly cares about both employees. There’s a strong sense of teamwork between employees , office staff, and leadership, which makes the job enjoyable and rewarding. The culture here is positive, fast-moving, and encouraging, and people are willing to help each other succeed. It’s a place where hard work is noticed and appreciated.

I have been employed with Bayer Built Woodworks for almost 2 years now.  They offer a competitive wage, good benefits including: 401(k) with company match, vacation, holidays, personal time,  profit-sharing.  Owners are usually on site and are very friendly and approachable.  The thing I like most about Bayer Built is how friendly everyone is and how everyone helps each other out to make the job as easy as possible.  Another thing that really needs to be mentioned is that there is no weekends and in today’s job market that is a hard thing to find.

Original owners were great managers and now they have retired and turned the company over to four of their children and it has the company has gone down hill ever since.  Quality has also gone downhill and many lumber yards do not even give quotes on BB doors unless you specifically ask for it.
Maintenance team has lost 90 percent of their crew in the last 3 years, many with more then 15 years of experience. 
Many employees with 10, 20, 30 years of experience have been fired due to asking "questions"!!!
Not a place to work period!

Exterior. 
Yes. Days can be long. Days can be a little frustrating. But most days are just fine.
Management is still relatively new at what they do. Still trying to figure out what works and what doesn't.
Benefits. Incredible. Will not find better Benefits elsewhere.
Most people are good, helpful, and pretty fun group to get to know.
The pay is good. 
Personal/sick days are not that great. Could be more lenient. 
Overall. It's a easy to learn easy to do job. Its not going to be your dream job by any means, but it's a good job to have to gain experience for your future.

If you aren't a Bayer, you won't get ahead here. Extreme nepotism. A Bayer is in charge of everything, and their kids have been and will be in charge when the older generation retires. If you are on night shift, you get to finish everything day shift didn't care to do, and do all the cleanup. You will be there until the day's production is done. Very rare to work a 9 hour day unless it's winter. Almost always 10-12 on night shift Sunday afternoon to Friday morning, unless you are a truck loader which is even longer days.
