I didn’t have a DOT license and they told me to drive out of state twice. They didn’t train me on driving a box truck except for saying use the side mirrors. I backed into some guys van due to not knowing how to drive one and they still let me drive after that with still no DOT license. I Also unknowingly drove a DOT without a license plate twice so when I hit the mans electrical van at a job site the cop who showed up to take the report was asking me where the license plate to the truck was. Shortly after that happened a TCI worker told the police officer that the license plate had fell off and a manager is on the way to the job site to drop it off. The following week they told me to drive the truck to a job site then leave the site 2 hours in to go get my DOT license still driving the DOT without a license which supposedly just involved a drug test, eye exam and diabetes test. No drive exam or training is involved in getting your DOT license which made me feel even more uncomfortable. I told them ok but then felt uncomfortable knowing I crashed before and didn’t want to potentially hurt myself, someone or someone’s property again. I told management how I felt and maybe the job wasn’t for me so that same day I departed from the company. I think they’re an irresponsible company and one day someone who isn’t properly trained is going to hurt themselves or someone wether crucial or fatal. On another note I worked insulation for two weeks and numerous houses failed due to improper installation by employees. Money hungry workers with no pride in what they do.

This would have been an amazing job. The pay and the hours were awesome. The only problem I had was with one lady in the office that was probably the most negative, nasty, utterly re pul sive person I have ever had the disadvantage of meeting. From day one this lady was mouthy and cus sing at just about everybody. She slammed stuff around and talked down to every single person in that place that crossed her path. She absolutely did not want to do her job. I couldn't believe the amount of things she got away with. Anywhere else and she would have been let go on the spot. I gave it four days and each day got worse and worse and at that point she decided to lay into me. I can take a lot of stuff but she doesn't write my checks and she was not my boss. I complained but there were only excuses for her because her job was "stressful". I don't care how stressful your job is you just don't act like that. I have a feeling the only reason she is still there is because there wasn't but one or two other people that could do her job with the scheduling and they were already in a pinch with being super behind. It would have been the perfect job and I would still be there now if B didn't throw her temper tantrums like a child. I am still in complete awe of how she treated the main boss and got away with it. I have never seen anything like it.

They are a production based company so the harder you work the more you can make. That being said it has its ups and down there is not much consistency with week to week paychecks so you need to look at the big picture ( year end) as far as pay. If you are an extremely hard worker and willing to work long days you will have no problem making excellent money, but again you are not paid hourly. Money is not the problem with them it’s how they treat their employees that is. Some branches have great management some do not. I worked for the Westmoreland NH branch and the manager at that branch has no respect or appreciation for the employees it’s all about his bottom line and will hold you back from advancing to benefit that bottom line. I was with the company for 11yrs and have done work for some of the other branches (Albany NY and Tamworth NH) were the best branches I did work for the management was great ( respectful and appreciative and helped employees of theirs advance with no regard to the companies bottom line) the manager at Westmoreland actually told me that he would not allow me to advance unless his bottom line was going to be ok and that is why I left.

A typical day at work usually involves a blend of routine tasks, problem-solving, and collaboration. Over time, you might learn new skills, refine existing ones, and better understand how your role fits within the broader organizational goals. Management plays a crucial role in guiding, supporting, and facilitating productivity, while effective leadership fosters a positive and motivated atmosphere. Workplace culture—shaped by values, communication, and employee relationships—can significantly impact overall job satisfaction.

The hardest part of the job is often balancing deadlines, managing stress, or dealing with complex situations that require creative solutions. On the flip side, the most enjoyable part usually stems from overcoming challenges, achieving goals, or having the opportunity to work with talented and supportive colleagues. It’s the sense of accomplishment and personal growth that makes the job feel meaningful.

Overall
Was a great place to work for a while, however seniority has no meaning here. Management does not recognize a good employee when they have it. Felt completely disrespected and hurt by the way I was treated after working so hard for the company.

Excelling at IBP requires tenacity, a strong work ethic, and teamwork. Most importantly, however, there's always something new to be learned and if you're up for the challenge, you'll not only grow your skills and your career, you may grow into a stronger individual and teammate. Although corporate doesn't look like the communities they serve, they're working diligently to formulate long-lasting changes. Transparency isn't always inherent, but when you ask, you receive. If you're looking for a place that challenges you, pushes you to try new things, and is always different, then join IBP!

If you want to work in the world of enterprise IT, this is a great place to start. Not as large and rigid as fortune 100 level companies.

there is zero work life balance, seat warmer culture is in full effect, full time salaried employees don't have documented sick days, calling off for any reason will be met with harsh and severe criticism. level 5 snow storm and you are expected to be there, if you can do 99% of your work remote, you will still be expected to be there.

you will be exposed to a wide array of tech, and will learn a ton on the job, but the benefits, salary and work life balance are very poor.

If you’re looking for a place to learn construction industry and tax, it’s a good start. But lacks any real training and you’re expected to start preparing returns the first month. With little to no direction. Mistakes are handled by passive aggressive emails from the Director. Toxic culture runs deep in the tax dept where it’s like HS. Everyone talks about everyone behind their back. Zero trust. If you appreciate effective communication, this is not the place for you. Work from home in case your child/children fall ill is NOT a thing. Unless you’re a favorite, then you may be allowed.
