Overall, Terrible Company

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.

Not enough Pros to comment

Cons

First, pay attention externally. Their stock is trading dangerously close to their all-time low. Look at the other nationals (LEN, PHM, MTH) all trading at several multiples of their 2008 range lows. Why? Why does the BOD allow this to continue? I would submit the behavior and sophomoric management style of the CEO, combined with his "fake goal" of 2B10 (don't goals usually have commitment dates? Not 'we will sell $2B.....eventually') have driven this company first up in 2009, then spiraling down now. He is the largest revenue-killing CEO in the business with his nonsensical Friday "I love to hear myself talk for 90 minutes" meeting, unproductive metrics, and a team that is afraid to cross him. Most of the Senior Leadership Team is ill-equipped for their roles and couldn't survive a week at a leading competitor, but the CEO likes to be surrounded by scared, incompetent, overworked minions. Meanwhile, the competition has zoomed by this organization in every way. One competitor once described the CEO and CFO as "One sees the glass as half empty and the other thinks he invented water." On the ground, you will work hard for little to no gratitude for a disgruntled boss that will probably be fired next month. It's kind of like hell with a paycheck and an occasional "culture" event where people pretend to like each other and like they all aren't out interviewing already. In short, the absolute worst company I've ever witnessed, let alone work for.
