Pros

It's difficult to find any positive things about working here. Outside of senior management many of the people are nice.

Cons

Massive turnover. I work in the corporate office in Atlanta and we lose people every week. It isn't just the lower level entry positions but we bleed officers, managers and directors at a frightening pace. Most of the turnover is due to the CFO who is prone to tantrums and while in the throes of these tantrums will make a decision to terminate an employee. The CEO is so arrogant and insecure that he will rarely admit when he is wrong. Instead he will question and badger someone to the point where he feels better about himself then belittle the person. All of this engenders a cutthroat environment where many people are quick to throw someone else under the bus simply for self-preservation. It also stifles creativity which is one of the reasons this company continues to struggle in a rebounding market while its peers are further along the path to recovery.

Pros

There are some dedicated, long-term, lower level employees who keep the gears turning. Otherwise, this place would be completely unbearable.

Cons

This place is like a real life version of The Office. The CEO is a meglomaniac who likes to control every aspect of the company but is blinded by his own limitations when it comes to operational efficiency and terrible direct hires (e.g., CFO). His chief henchman is the CFO, who has the social skills of a wet mop and has had countless harassment claims lodged against him over the years. He thrives on pointing the finger at others and constantly turning over employees in his department (and others) so as to deflect the blame for his incompetence. The company is always lagging it peers when it comes to performance and vision. People are constantly leaving. The entire place is a hot mess!

Horrible management; Rules by fear

Pros

Outside of the corporate office, there are some great people in the field, and the house quality that the company builds is improving. Overall, though, it is still a lower end home.

Cons

Leadership at the top uses fear as their primary motivator. It is demoralizing and extremely counter productive. It is the only place where I have ever worked where yelling and cursing, including taking extremely personal and very unprofessional low-blow shots at employees is common place by management. It has created an environment where teamwork is non-existent because employees fear so much for their job or want to ensure they don't get yelled at. Employees will do only the very least to get their job done because they fear that if they do anything further that it will open them up to scrutiny, which in this case, would be far from constructive. The turnover in the corporate office is absolutely horrendous.
