Pros

This place was great a few years ago under BASF. There are still some remnants of greatness which are quickly fading away because of the new ownership by an equity firm (Lone Star). The management team in the US consists of good people. They are being forced by the equity firm to make changes that are ruining the company. Benefits as of this day are still good. Many employees are concerned that the equity firm will take all that away.

Cons

German control over the whole business is ruining it. They have hired a consulting company that is making really dumb changes. The company is losing great people to competitors. Customers are also noticing the decline. The CEO in Germany does not care about employees, he also does not care about the long term health of the company. The focus is on making the numbers for the short term. They are trying to show good profitability to sell the company and make a profit. There are Teams in the company that have no contributions but are getting boosted by management, they are literally BS Team. On the other hand, headcount is being reduced in other productive groups.

Pros

I am proud to work at Master Builders Solutions. It is generally a good place to be at despite some of the recent changes. Many good hardworking and knowledgeable people work here! Benefits as of today are still good. I hope they don't keep declining, that's when the company will see an even bigger exodus.

Cons

Most of the cons are related to the new equity firm that unfortunately now owns Master Builders. Everyone hopes they sell us ASAP. We need stability to prosper and they are not providing that. The equity firm has ruined our bonus structure. They've made it so we never get any bonuses regardless of our performance. They keep moving the goal post so that we never reach target. I am hoping they don't continue to mess with our compensation, else I am out! Our America's president is a good guy, really nice person. However, he doesn't seem to be very knowledgeable about who does what in the different businesses. Every time he presents, he spends 5 minutes talking about how great BST is. Does no one dare tell him the truth? Does he not realize that he is being flimflamed? Everyone that actually works in the businesses knows that investing in BST is a waste of resources and frankly a clown show.
