Pros

Free coffee and free cups of water (not water bottles, you get a cup for water)

Cons

It wasnt the bag of goods that I was sold. Read the other reviews on here, all of these people are not wrong, especially the koolaide drinker review, it is spot on. Another example is the Hawaii trip, they fail to tell you they cancelled every company event for about 18 months to pay for it, including the Christmas party. And used it as an excuse to be as cheap as possible, then write it off as a cooperate event, you know since you had mandatory training in HI. They make all of these promises on the front end, only to slowly widdle them away, which is a bit concerning for a company that wears it Christianity so proudly. Basically everything that you are told comes with very very fine print, they dont tell you about, and you get to figure it out on your own. Every, decision is based upon money. They are a margin builder, and make great margins, but they will throw anyone under the bus for a better margin. From a PM on up to an area president, it is all about beating budgets for them, so dont get in between anyone and a buck (or a survey) or you will get run over. They tell you about how they are growing, to a $5 billion company, but leave out about how you as an employee get to grow (hint: you dont). They are growing by expanding into new markets, not increasing the market share in the current markets. It is really only Davids bank account and his real estate holdings that grow. If you are 55+, have no ambition in life, want to relive high school cliques, like cake parties and micromanagement, like dressing up for monthly skits, and live in an apartment in the suburbs, this is the company for you.

Pros

Decent pay ($50,000 per year salary + 1% of sales price of home), good benefits, profit sharing. Great product overall.

Cons

ZERO room for professional growth. Builders are the only ones promoted to sales management, which is absurd. They also recruit a lot of managers from outside and overlook their own employees.

Pros

Big Company with lots of buying power, great benefits, well funded. Great accounting and benefit support from Corporate Office, overall culture is good!

Cons

Corporate design and IT are terrible. Systems are outdated and not user friendly. Corporate will not admit when something does not work! Culture at a local level does not match what corporate sells! Low salary, and overall compensation is 20 to 30% below market. Tenured employees do not embrace new employees or change. Senior management at local level is very out of touch with employees.
