Pros
Pay is decent. When they hire "new blood" they attract people that are smart and capable because of decent pay and generous PTO policy. The CEO is smart and capable of growing the company.
Cons
Where do I start? I have a lot of respect for the CEO, but he needs to clean house with upper management. My Regional President and VP at Corporate were completely clueless with how to do their jobs and grow the company. I think they spent their entire day trying to look and sound good for the CEO, vs doing the job they needed to do. At the division level, it's filled mostly with people who have been in the industry forever, and recycle the same 5 ideas over and over. If you have one bad week of sales, you have to spend the entire next week coming up with new plans in 15 different formats. But, just pull from your bag of 5 tricks, and then change it up again the next week and you'll get a free pass. Everyone is overworked and fresh ideas are not welcomed. Moral is low, home designs are dated, and marketing efforts date back to 1995. People speak about this behind closed doors, but are afraid to speak up otherwise. A handful of sales people are capable and driven. Others show up when they want to and have managers that have no clue how to motivate or manage a sales team. Sales managers are a huge joke - so much so that good sales people are impossible to hire because their reputation is known all around our city.
