Pros

Good 401k plan, everyday was a different experience. Company paid phones and travel, automatic vacation time upon hire.

Cons

The company is family oriented, usually a good thing, not in this case. Upper management and ownership is comprised of a few families; brothers, sisters, cousins, parents, in-laws etc. Everyone gets a job regardless of qualifications. If an employee has a disagreement with management, word spreads quickly and family members will paint a bullseye on that person. Openly against organized labor. Pay is based solely on what you negotiate.

Hi there. I'm sorry to hear your experience here was such that makes you not want to recommend Bauer Built as an employer. We are a third generation family owned company, and certainly have a number of family members working with us. Everyone at Bauer Built focuses on continuous improvement and learning; which is a driving force behind how people advance within our company. I’m glad to hear you feel as though your compensation was determined based on your level of expertise. We proudly bring people on-board with us at rates which honor their experience in the industry. Thanks for taking the time to review Bauer Built.

Pros

The leadership team really does try to look out for everyone. Communication moves quickly, there is room for advancement if you're willing to work hard and put yourself out there. My chain of command is excellent, the leaders and line folks get it, they respond quickly, ideas are valued (in an industry that doesn't budge much). Probably the best place (and team) I have worked for in a very long time!

Cons

The work can be tough (we are a tire business, physical work is what we do) but it can be rewarding. Corporate office is not in a bustling metropolis, so you have to be sure you like a small town feel to things.

Your response reminds me of our business philosophy about teamwork: "We achieve our goals and objectives through teamwork. For the good of all; time, information, and resources are freely shared to help each other get the job done." Getting things done efficiently and effectively is a team effort! We're glad to hear your team is upholding that belief! Thanks for sharing your viewpoint from your experience at Bauer Built. We appreciate it!

Pros

My coworkers and boss are incredible and always encourage and value my feedback. I have seen quite a few employees get promotions since I started working at Bauer Built, which tells me they value current employees and their advancement. You can tell this is a family owned company by the way managers treat their employees. You will not be a number if you come to work here. The work is tough and takes a special type of person with an extremely strong work ethic and the desire to do exceed customer expectations every day. There is a lot of opportunity for a dedicated person at Bauer Built and I would recommend anyone to look into joining our team.

Cons

The locations are geographically dispersed so I don't get to see everyone in other stores as often as I would like.
