Pros

I have been working with the company for 22 years. I started at the very beginning of LGI Homes in 2003, and have seen us grow from one community in Conroe, Texas to communities across 17 states and 28 markets. There are a few major reasons I am proud to work for LGI Homes: 1) Unlimited opportunity for growth - Based on our goal of becoming a Top 5 builder, we are going to need to hire top talent and create leadership positions along the way. The opportunity to grow with us is endless. Promoting from within is always preferred. 2) Commitment to sales excellence - One of my favorite days of the year is talking to the sales training class on their first day. I believe LGI Homes is the ultimate opportunity for a sales professional. Here you can enjoy paid training and uncapped earnings through the highest commissions in the industry and an aggressive bonus structure. We know that salespeople are the most important people in the company and invest heavily in them. We provide all the leads and inventory needed to earn a six figure income and beyond. 3) People-focused culture - We love to recognize our employees. Whether it's our Circle of Excellence trip each year, or taking employees to the NASDAQ Closing Bell Ceremony, we are always looking for ways to recognize our top performers. We also formally recognize loyalty every 5 years to make sure all of our employees feel valued. We have never laid off an employee, and are committed to our people and their growth.

Cons

Working for LGI Homes requires a lot of hard work. Sales in particular does require weekend and evening work. However, those employees who do work the extra hours, buy in to our culture, and follow the LGI way will reach an unprecedented level of success.

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!!!
