Great money, fun when it’s fair

Management plays favorites. They hired the Division Presidents son who gets treated like a king.

Pros

High volume sales and great pay

Cons

They work you like a slave, there is no work-life balance, and most people end up divorced and in the hospital due to the insane amount of stress. Average tenure is 3 years for this position, but if you can stick it out for 3 years, it's potentially life-changing money. They have intentionally created an environment where only the strong survive. Have an exit-strategy and a back up plan for when things hit the fan.

Pros

Cannot name any pros. There are good qualities for certain not all bad here but must be a well embedded figure in the real estate industry here in central VA. OR you must know managment personally... The HSA ia nice for certain but thats it

Cons

I strongly caution potential employees about this company due to significant issues with management and pay structure: - Employees are classified as W2 in Virginia but receive no base pay, meaning all income relies on lead generation. This creates immense pressure without guaranteed compensation and this also includes your insurance. if you have no pending commissions the corp office will call and ask you to pay for your insurance so be careful to even enroll.. - The requirement to be present in the model from 10 AM to 6 PM without pay is a burden, especially since leads are not provided, forcing employees to perform outreach without compensation. Which would be okay if they had traffic or plan to create traffic but its all on you 100% no excuses or exceptions unless you are good with management which is not based on preformace like management claims. - Management is inconsistent and often unresponsive, leading to frustration. There is a clear lack of loyalty even towards upper management, with many feeling unsupported and undervalued. - Favoritism is prevalent, with senior representatives enjoying privileges that are not extended to others. This creates an unfair environment where performance standards seem to apply selectively. - The overall morale is undermined by poor management practices, with managers openly complaining about the director of sales while providing contradictory statements regarding rules and expectations depending on who you are OR who you know If you are a good sales rep, don’t waste your time here. Seek opportunities where your talents will be recognized and rewarded.

Pros

Plenty of work and you get exposed to a lot of different aspects of construction management.

Cons

Pay is heavily dependent on bonuses on houses and the goals that are set are quite difficult to achieve at times.
