Very unprofessional- you are in or you are out - Sales David Weekley Homes Employee Review

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.

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.
