Drexel Building Supply

Coworkers are great, generally fun to be around but things are constantly changing and not really ever for the better, if you change positions, you effectively have to quit your job and are rehired for that position without any options to go back. The company as a whole is slipping and profitably is a joke. You get a year end profit sharing, but hope you're not on the chopping block because right before you get it they'll fire you. Personal issues that you've explicitly explained to supervisors? They don't matter at all, and they will can you if you can't live up 100% to their values. It's a cult. Getting let go from here was the best thing that's ever happened to me, my mental health improved drastically. It gets 3 stars because if you can look past the cult and the behind your back highschool talk, it'll pay the bills. But that's about it.

Store leaders preach about coaching but do very little to help. Management is blind. If you want to succeed you better be ready to do it on your own but you better do it their way or you will be looked down on and called into the office and let go for having your own opinion. Training is non-existent. They expect you to know all the questions to ask. 

Management was horrible.  Pay was a joke, especially for someone with experience /degree.  There are a bunch of sales people who are horrible at their job.  Not a professional work environment. It was fun at times and you meet some interesting people/make new friends.  
It is a good starting point for college students but not a career choice. They preach work/life balance but expect you to work 50 plus hours to be considered full time.  And for the low pay you need to get your hours in and overtime.   There are better places to work at other than Drexel.

Very high school. 
Management will act friendly too your face but will turn around and gossip once in their offices. 
They do not care about the well being of the employees. 

Cult like company, the people in the office seem to be the most happy and well taken care of. 

I’d apply to the Amherst location only if you’re okay with being told you only have to work 40 hours and then being forced to work Fridays as well. 
OR not being told about working a Friday or not until the night before. 

Second shift is also the best if you would like to receive low to zero support from management or the designers. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Worked operations. Pulling, packaging , delivering building materials. Great culture. Great people. Winter is winter. Otherwise 5 stars. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Winter weather and road construction 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great culture. Supportive. Excellent training and opportunity. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hard rewarding work. Fun people to work with

Management is very invested in the atmosphere and culture of their stores. Very happy with the positive work environment. Great teamwork between different store locations. Although moving from a delivery truck driver to inside sales granted no additional pay increase. Even though the mental and emotional workload increases significantly, it was seen as a lateral move. But was helped out quite a bit by other co workers. 

Drexel Amherst location has had MAJOR leadership changes EVERY year in the last 4 years. Hopefully we found our "Goldilocks" this time. The chaos of sudden leadership change easily makes good employees slip through the cracks and get walked on. Fingers crossed 🤞 for a good turn around because it's a great company to work for.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good benefits and good pay for the most part 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
micromanaged and threaten firing a lot 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They preach they have the best culture but words and actions are two different things 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
stressful and overwhelming a lot

They typically hire certain types of individuals who have strong work ethic. Coworkers are typically great and want to help each other. Can be a lot of fun with good perks. The downside is there is big time pressure to perform and the company cant pick a direction to go. Constant changes from leadership and then you are told to deal with it or leave. A couple of tweaks higher up and it could be great.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They go out of there way for everyone. Its all about teamwork there 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Over promising and under delivering 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
For the most part , excellent. Team building
