Horrible work environment - Human Resources QXO Employee Review

Pros

Since the QXO acquisition, that culture has deteriorated significantly. The environment feels cold and hierarchical, and many of us from the Beacon team are struggling to find our place in the new structure. The approach to leadership and decision-making now feels top-down and unapproachable, with a culture that seems to center around unwavering deference to the CEO, rather than open collaboration or innovation. Morale has declined, and what once felt like a mission-driven team now feels like a fragmented organization with little room for differing perspectives. We’ve lost much of what made Beacon special.

Cons

Beacon was an incredibly well-run organization with a collaborative, effective culture. Unfortunately, after the QXO acquisition, many of the changes implemented have felt arbitrary and out of step with industry best practices. There’s been a shift toward working harder rather than smarter, with little regard for employee well-being or operational efficiency. Many of the new structures and decisions seem to disregard what was already working — a classic case of 'fixing what wasn’t broken.' Morale has plummeted, and the environment has become rigid, top-down, and discouraging. If you're considering joining, think carefully. The current culture does not support innovation or genuine collaboration. Proceed with caution

Pros

Exploring new places while driving.

Cons

If you work here, expect the manager to overwork you like a slave with absolutely no regard for your personal time or what time you get off, even if it's late at night. They consistently send a single employee out to handle massive deliveries that clearly require multiple people. Management doesn't care about your home life or your physical well being they just want the job done at your expense. I do not recommend working here.
