Pros

The BDR role is a tremendous place to being your sales career - It involves prospecting, cold calling and finding ways to set the meeting. The BDS role consists of conducting the meetings, you seek to discover solutions that will help the clients company. I accepted the job knowing that I wouldn't be at Buildertrend for more than a couple years and I thought it was a great starting point in my career. I see a lot of reviews that complain about the call count but in reality if you're able to make 100+ calls a day while hitting your goals at Buildertrend, it will really set up you for success if you decide to leave and take another sales job. Great company with great point, I'd recommend it it to anyone beginning their sales career.

Cons

Pay is low, but the experience is priceless. You'll meet great people and learn about sales. The culture is great, but the fact that some people on your team only play ping pong orhang out at the putting green all day can be annoying.

Pros

This department is great. Everyone I work with is knowledgeable and self-sufficient. We are trusted to get our work done and there is a lot of flexibility. Pay is decent. I have had some bad jobs in accounting/finance and this is probably my favorite job I have had.

Cons

Other departments seem to have their own issues. We are siloed from those issues so I can't speak to them.

Pros

None, a bunch of frat bros who put you down any chance they get.

Cons

I worked here for over two years, and it was a frustrating and, at times, uncomfortable professional experience. I often felt that my contributions were overlooked, and it was difficult to feel fully respected or included in conversations and decision-making. The workplace culture was one of the biggest challenges. I regularly observed gossip and unprofessional communication, and advancement did not appear to follow a clear, performance-based structure. From what I experienced, promotions seemed more closely tied to internal relationships than to measurable results, which made growth feel uncertain and inconsistent. There were also moments that I found inappropriate in a professional setting. I personally overheard a manager make a comment about wanting someone on a team based on appearance, which raised concerns for me about workplace standards. In addition, repeated day-to-day interactions sometimes felt dismissive or discouraging, and over time that created a work environment that was difficult to feel comfortable in. Leadership often felt disconnected from the day-to-day employee experience, and expectations around performance and quotas were, in my experience, difficult to meet in a sustainable way. This added pressure without a clear sense of support or alignment. This reflects my personal experience, but I would strongly encourage anyone considering a role here to ask detailed questions about team culture, communication style, and growth opportunities to determine if it aligns with what they’re looking for.
