Pros

Nice office location. Sales team was pleasant to work with. Builds quality homes but follow up on 'last touch' items is long process for buyers

Cons

Everything else. Management doesn't care about the 'lower level' employees. All that matters is closing units. New hire process is painfully long n lacking real world info.

Corporate is Toxic

Pros

There are some good people here, unfortunately they are all in the same boat sitting in a toxic environment that gives no means for success, growth, or advancement. The only reason Work/Life balance gets 3 stars is because it is pretty laid back and flexible but it does not come without a cost. Management will either make you feel terrible about the choices you are making (putting your family and life before work) or give you a really hard time about taking off. Even accusing you of going to job interviews with time off or calling you to find out what you are doing when you are taking off. Stalking your professional networks. There is some serious insecurities going on with keeping people, which is justified when you look at the turn over.

Cons

Every one I know flees this place. Every one that has not escaped, wants to but for reasons of their own have not been able to or are not in a position to do so. Management has no idea what is going on and they don't really care. The only thing driving management here is selfish ambition and politics. Want to do a great job? This is not the place for you. Want to do a mediocre job and just collect a paycheck, well you can do that here, but be prepared to be thrown under the bus at the drop of a hat or pressured to meet extremely unrealistic expectations. Want to be appreciated? Not here! In fact it is the opposite and the minute someone leaves there is so much bitterness and unprofessional behavior management trashes them to every one they can. The only thing going for anyone who actually leaves is that the people management are trashing them to, know management is toxic and not to pay any attention. Management will pin people against each other. There is no trust and God forbid you actually make a suggestion or business process that makes sense to the business itself. The only thing this company has going for them is that they can build a nice house. They are definitely not in the market to keep employees, develop them, or give them any entitlement to their job or skills. It is toxic.
