Builders-Best-Inc

Builder's Best is company that thrives on creating a toxic work environment. Upper management continually tells management and employees if you don't like our policies and procedures you can quit.

Employees do not have any input on processes, they are put in hostile work environments and HR does nothing to the actual offenders. Meanwhile, they continue to make excuses for toxic environment. Including telling you to leave if you don't like their policies.

In Plant City everything you do gets documented and reported to the headquarters in Texas. The only problem is if the HR representative likes you, they get amnesia and only remember certain parts of a conversation meanwhile Texas only gets half the story no matter how many witness statements they get. Don't trust anyone especially if they have an address in Texas. 

Unless Builder's Best changes their culture, you would be better off not working or offering any professional services.

Remember,
Upper Management will tell you if you don't like our policies you can quit. NO ONE FROM TEXAS CAN DENY THAT. 

You work from the time you arrive to the time you leave at the end of the day. Most times it can be quite crazy due to the amount of orders that come in verses the amount of people working on orders.
Since I was only there as a temp. employee most of the duties that I was given were just the basics but, very detailed.

I learned a lot in the 6 months that I was there.

The manager of the department I worked in did not seem to have a grasp as to what anyone was doing in this department. He left it to a person that had no skills/training as a supervisor. She was the person that trained new employees.

Most of my co-workers were really nice to work with. There was one person that was difficult to work with due to her horrible language and not being professional. She caused a lot of problems in the office that was overlooked by management.

The hardest part of the job was to remember which product could be made at which location, and which product was only made at certain locations.

For the most part I liked the whole process.

Don’t get me wrong I did like working at this place most of the time because of my coworkers. But man, i have never been as overwhelmed and stressed out as I was as a forklift operator for production here. The people that work there are great, except for a majority of the supervisors who are so rude and/ or two faced and will talk down to you like you’re a child, and one of them would sometimes threaten to write me up for doing exactly what they told me to do. The other supervisors actually good people who tried their best to help me out when they could. Also your breaks are short you don’t get your whole 30 minutes… they want you back at your machine in your area 5 minutes early so after waiting to use the microwave to heat your lunch you probably only get 15 minutes to relax before have to hurry back to your workspace. And you only get one break unless you work over 8 hours that day. So if I were you I’d bring a cold lunch to be able to get the max amount of time to enjoy your break.

Since I have started with the company, I have come across a couple supervisors that are good, and a couple that are bad.  Good people don't leave a company because of the work.  They leave because of the management starting at the floor level.  Also, when I was hired, I was put on the production floor with no training.  I had to constantly ask other people how to do things.  One of the night shift supervisor's will just look at you, talk to you like he is better than you, and make you feel about aa little as possible.  Still don't know why he is employed.  Now that I am a forklift operator, my work load has increased, always in fear of having to work late to get everything finished up, and the supervisor's just keep adding stuff to my list every day.  Sure would be nice to actually get paid the right amount for the amount of work that I do.

I have worked at several large, publicly traded companies before joining Builder’s Best and had good experiences at all of them, but making the decision to work for Builder’s Best, a family owned company, was the best job move I have ever made.  

The company offers competitive wages and benefits.  Work hours are reasonable which makes balancing responsibilities at work and home easier than with previous employers.  Advancement within the company is very achievable, but expect to be punctual, work hard and do your best every day.  

The safety of each employee at Builder’s Best is of the highest priority.  Management monitors safety daily, holds employees accountable for safety, takes employees’ safety concerns seriously and takes action to improve safety where needed.  

From day one, I have been very happy working for Builder’s Best.

Alright if you’re desperate, but not sustainable, you’re constantly working overtime because you’re working 4 12 hr shifts and an 8 on Friday, and they’ll always try to peer pressure you into picking up a “voluntary” 8 shift on Saturday that if you don’t, you’re handed extra work and the bigger target for management of something goes wrong, but they do hire frequently. They do let you have holidays off, but each day off counts towards an extra Saturday shift that you can’t miss or you WILL be fired on the spot. The only people who get leniency are the ones related to management. So if you need a job, you can pick this up while hunting for somewhere better. 

This is a company where if you are looking for a solid foundation to hold you steady while you achieve your future goals like going to college, they will support you and work with you. Things like adjustment to your schedule for flexible class hours is a wonderful program that they offer to students. (High-school or college). If you are looking to learn new trades in production work this is also a great place to work. There is certain machine's that people may be assigned to, that they may or may not work alone, but they generally come with the opportunity to become certified, and a raise may be offered with it once certified.

Supervisor would take jobs that other departments needed to do and would put the work in our department and would tell those supervisors sure we can do it. This place over works you, doesn't pay you enough and expects you to work overtime without telling you that you will need to stay over your shift. Heard multiple supervisors speaking negatively of other employees so really didn't give you any sense of comfort. Supervisors would cuss at their employees and if they were getting onto an employee they would not shut the door so everyone heard their mistakes. Horrible place.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The job it's self I love it I met a lot of different people nice friends and getting paid every week was the best part

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The weather it was too cold and no heater had to bring your own heater 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I enjoy working there it was in a good environment no problem and no situation 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Summer time and when it was time to go home and when I became permanent

Typical day starts off as a horror show, end of night as well. No one is being properly trained, they're just putting people to work and expecting them to automatically know how everything is supposed to be. Only one manager is willing to help. Some of the non temp or builders best hires are, stirring up irrelevant situations and some people either walk out or nothing is resolved.
