Pros

I truly cannot think of any pros to working for this company.

Cons

I worked for LGI Homes for 6 months, and it was one of the most misleading and disappointing experiences of my career. From day one, I was sold a dream that simply doesn’t exist. They promise incredible income potential and success stories from other states, but the reality is far different. The hours are extremely long, and you’re not allowed to leave the model home. Management micromanages every single move, creating a stressful and toxic environment. You’re required to have a commercial policy on your car, and it must be less than five years old — an expense they don’t clearly disclose upfront. There are typically four to five sales agents assigned to the same model home, which makes it cutthroat and highly competitive. Despite being told you’d have “unlimited earning potential,” the structure makes it very difficult to close deals and actually make a decent living. To make things worse, LGI doesn’t use a CRM system — everything is tracked on handwritten note cards — which feels outdated, inefficient, and chaotic. I left feeling completely lied to and financially set back. This company hypes you up with false promises but doesn’t deliver on any of them. If you’re considering working here, please take this as your warning: think twice before you do.

Pros

Absolutely none, terrible position unless you are in a "great" community. They build in crappy places and expect people to pay top dollar.

Cons

Stay far away! For this position you will be under paid and over worked. They guarantee sales people 500 leads minimum a year. What they don't tell you is that 98% are garbage. The other 2.99% are desperate people with some of the worst credit you've ever seen. Then you have the .01% that can actually purchase a home. And they expect a minimum of 18 closings for sales people. They want to run everything like it is in Texas but news flash, all markets are different. Some need a different approach. And no one will listen to someone who's been in the local market for years. Pre crash and post crash of 08. I told them exactly what to do to make us a producing market and it fell on deaf ears. Then I was promised a promotion for doubling my team size, community count and responsibilities. Then when the time came. They said nah. Systems based company? Yea ok. What a joke. Wasted 2 years of my life here and walked away from a blossoming career I already had on the promise of big money that never came. Stay as far away as you can!!!
