Pros

Very good training. Good for resume

Cons

Sales people treated like cattle. Revolving door. All managers come from the construction side. Most sales people don't last more than 2 years. This is not a career.

Pros

Good for families who need time off for children. Good place to start in the industry.

Cons

Management in the design department is run with good ole boy mentality. No transparancy. Open door policy is discouraged and people who speak are punished and publicly ridiculed. Antique computer software and hardware.

Pros

Excellent company. Consistently voted "Best to work For." Sales Consultants are provided with the autonomy to effectively manage their neighborhoods and develop critical market plans. The management team will typically request your input prior to implementing any change. Sales Consultants are treated lie an integral and important part of the team. Sales are valued once proven and retained at all cost. High standards in terms of work and personal ethics. Customer care is key. David Weekley Homes will often come back to satisfy a customer, going beyond required intervals.

Cons

They allow for growth via excellent training and through the utilization of a sales coach and on-line training. Also, quarterly performance reviews are conducted. For a Sales professional, it is still hard to actually advance, however, as the Sales position is fairly linear and job opportunities are limited unless you would like to transfer to another city - perhaps headquarters in Houston. Typically the team will consist of builders, sales, warranty managers and management staff. Management is often recruited from outside, however, builders and warranty managers can progress to City Managers, Project Managers, Quality Managers, etc. It just does not happen with sales.
