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

amazing culture, and you're usually treated like a business owner thats not micromanaged. I got the job when I was in my early 20s, and they trusted me with alot and let me fail and learn. profit sharing is great when you get it, but recently the housing market has been horrible so nobody is getting it. My PM is great and he makes sure I know that he's on my side. Training is great too - they make sure everyone is ot only up to date on new building knowledge, but they constantly invest in our knowledge base so we are all performing at our best. Upper management is also amazing. they are not on their high horse and unapproachable, and they genuinely care about their team.

Cons

You've heard it a thousand times on this page. The pay sucks, at least when compared to other builders. I'm single with no big payments or dependants, so I'm fine for now. However, I've heard other builders with different companies getting paid literally twice as much as me even with my bonuses, and I'm one of the top builders in the city when it comes to build time. Your satisfaction level also depends on the PM you have - mine is great, but others are heavy micromanagers that don't let you do a thing without their approval. They also put a massive emphasis on surveys, and there is zero tolerance for even irrational buyers. They say "that's why our goal is 90%", but that mentality is unfortunately not put into practice.
