Pros

David Weekley Homes is a fantastic company. From their family environment, to their company morals, you won’t find a better place to work. People always tell you to be weary of drinking the Kool-aid, I will tell you that yes DWH may give you the Kool-aid through a fire hose, drink every bit. The management in Nashville market is top notch with years of experience, and a great vision for best interest of the team, buyers, and company all at once. This is a company that gives you all of the tools to succeed, countless training sessions, and essentially the freedom to work how you see best fit and not “by the book”. David Weekley Homes does many charity outreaches and involves the entire team which is very cool and fulfilling. There truly isn’t a place like DWH. If you are lucky enough to be offered a role with this company, accept it and never look back.

Cons

The interview process can be very very long and to someone who doesn’t see the team early on, can be almost discouraging. DWH does this on purpose to make sure that you will be a great fit for them and that they will be a great fit for you. The pay is a little lower (for my role at least) than preferred, however, the bonus structure, insurance, and amazing environment do make up for it. My only issue is I wish I still worked for DWH.

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.
