Pros

None that I can think of, I was recruited by the division president, after numerous talks and negotiations I decided to accept the offer and leave my current job.

Cons

The promises that had been made were not kept. They had recently entered the market and unfortunately had no knowledge of the area. I was told they had numerous land deals and seven upcoming communities. They have yet to get approval for any of the communities. Disorganized! I left after I saw the quality of their construction and the corners that they choose to cut at the cost of their home buyers. I have since started my own company and am much better off. My advice run don't walk.

Pros

Great training. Great people under the management level. Growing and expanding in new markets. Team members really care about each other as long as they are not forced to compete in a community.

Cons

Middle management bullied by upper management who completely ignores entire DWH Team Member Program. High turn over. Not many good team members can or will put up with contradiction between company policies and how it really works in the trenches so 2-3 years is average before the good ones leave.

Very unprofessional- you are in or you are out

Pros

Phenomenal 8% match for 401k, higher base salary than industry standard (lower com. %) David Weekely himself seems great, too bad his values are not being carried out.

Cons

Heavy emphasis on team, when team means being part of the GOB in your area and not speaking out against very inappropriate behavior. Your trainer may very well be someone who is assigned as your mentor that is a competing coworker. Hopefully they won't set you up to fail and leave out key elements of the position. Sales is disposable and you must be willing to be talked down to by builders or project coordinator if they do not like you or are in a bad mood. They are the employees that are valued. If you blow the whistle on unethical behavior of a tenured employee, you will pay the price severely in backlash. Politics are more important than anything, even more than your success with sales and customer satisfaction. You will have to fill out surveys via email that everyone knows are not confidential and say everything is great.
