Pros

401K matching, health insurance, etc.

Cons

Where do I even begin? All the comments before me are dead on. Talk about koolaid? They talk a big game about "the Weekley way" but in reality the whole company is full of back-stabbing snitches, and liars. I made the mistake of only interviewing with Weekley. I tested off the chart and they just loved hiring me, they said. But the endless training, horrible pay, no emphasis on sales, and every community is a build job which takes forever to pay commissions after closing. You're given a 'project' manager who knows nothing about sales or closing. And their ridiculous surveys. The homeowners became so tired of being hounded, they stopped returning calls. Weekley cares more about surveys than closing sales and moving inventory. And I witnessed a huge turnover of builders and sales, sometimes two or three during one build job. They're scared of carry interest to build "showcase" homes [spec homes] and give their sales people a model to demo and show. You're forced to sell from a floor plan and they're short of trades to build. Elevations and plans are simple and plain with no creativity. The competition is destroying this awesome home buying market in Dallas right now and I was stuck in first gear. And they make a big deal about energy efficiency. News flash- most builders use the same insulation materials, silicon sealing, vinyl windows and 2x6 exterior construction. My whole world changed once I interviewed on my days off. Found a home and tripled my income with an exciting, challenging and creative builder. Run away from Weekley!

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.
