Pros

Some very good people who believe they can make a difference. That is about all I can say at this point.

Cons

The biggest problem is the CEO. He manages and micromanages through intimidation and bullying. He screams and belittles and I have never heard one good thing about him. It's offensive to have to fill out and sign an ethics agreement knowing upper level management does not live by these rules. The turnover in division offices is crippling and it is because of the toxic environment created by the CEO. Upper management throws middle management under the bus to save their jobs. Micromanaging, smoke and mirrors and deception are present on every level. Good people turn bad or leave. The stress is a constant presence that leaves you exhausted and dreading the next morning when you have to go back to work. The CEO pays himself ridiculous amounts of money and bonuses and sells off land to show a profit (more smoke and mirrors) it is by far the worst culture I have been a part of. It's sad because I know there are good people that stay believing they can make a difference, but no one can until the king sitting at the top of the pile has his throne taken away. George Beazer was a hard working stone mason and built Beazer on the foundation of a value builder. He wanted everyday people to be able to afford a new home. Today's CEO wants to line his pockets and has no respect for anyone that works for Beazer. The people take on the personality of their leader. Need I say more?

Pros

Great starting point to learn more about the industry.

Cons

I came to Beazer excited to sale and hire a new team with a new boss and drank all the Kool-aid. In my opinion - we over promise and under deliver with very little loyalty. We tell our sales staff one thing and as much as we try to assist, we can not. We are strong-armed by an unqualified finance department and upper management (in my opinion). We have very little authority to deliver any sort of new action plan. We lack the ability to really assist our sales teams but send off lengthy emails telling our teams we are here for them when the realty is we are not. We are told to "sale" in regards to build new teams. I wish I could go into more detail....we are now forcing our teams into contracts that have created lots of pushback. This Atlanta division needs a deep cleanse. This is all based upon my personal opinion.

Pros

Free parking? 401(k) match? Free bagels on Friday? I'm struggling to find 20 words here!

Cons

Too many to list, but I'll hit the high points. CEO is Narcissus reincarnate. He's the smartest guy you'll ever meet. Just ask him; he'll gladly tell you! CFO hit the jackpot landing the job, but is in way over his head. His department is a revolving door, and he mismanages through fear and intimidation. He loves to micromanage other departments, but his lack of understanding of even basic concepts is shocking. C-Suite is a cult of personality, and the culture is terrible. Employee turnover is through the roof, and has been for years. It far exceeds builder peers and other similar sized companies, by any measure . Board of Directors is full of lifers with very little turnover. They routinely rubber stamp C-Suite decisions and turn a blind eye to the employee mismanagement and complaint of C-Suite harassment. Financially the company has been struggling just to run in place for years now, but the Board is content to go along.
