Pros

Overall this is a good company to work for & they offer a lot of benefits to their employees. Profit sharing checks, 401K match, health benefits are wonderful. Extensive & on-going training program for all positions within the company. Almost all "team members" (aka employees) were pleasant.

Cons

Mid-level managers who are run by divisional management. Your relationship with your project manager will make or break your job. The so-called David Weekley "culture" was a joke. I always wondered why I seemed to be the only one that get totally hyped up after attending Weekley 101, their 3 day introduction training. I am not sure why this company was named to the Fortune 500 Top 100 Companies to Work For. There is no team here - don't let them fool you. I watched them "part ways" with numerous team members over 3 years without ANY warning. Almost all project managers continuously interview candidates for your type of position right in front of you in the model homes when there is no need for new team members. Warning - these are your replacements. Your success will be entirely dependent upon your project manager. Work for a good one.

Pros

David Weekley offers great training, probably the best in the business. You can make good money there and the benefits are fantastic. They hand out lots of bonuses and everyone that works there is really cool and they seem to have a great culture.

Cons

You don't work for Mr. Weekley himself, you work for the project managers. Some are cool and some are not. Some are a little left of normal and have bad reputations throughout the entire company, that are often talked about by people even in upper management, but if they make money then it doesn't matter. I'm Not a disgruntled employee, but for a company that does so many things right and strives to be a top company to work for, they really miss the ball on some of their upper management.

Pros

- Compensation - Nothing - Nothing - Nothing

Cons

In terms of the Indianapolis market: -The project managers are extremely full of themselves... They use derogatory terms to describe their team members. -Turnover rate is well above industry average. -Would strongly suggest a career away from DWH. -If you have any questions, I'm sure current/former employees would be more than happy to answer them.
