Pros

Supportive Team Culture: Worked with a genuinely nice and collaborative team. Strong Corporate Values: Company emphasized integrity, structure, and professionalism. Clear Processes: LGI had defined sales systems, they tout it as the best in the world, it's not, but if you have never been in sales it is helpful.

Cons

Misaligned Compensation Expectations: Actual earnings were about one-fourth of what was promised during hiring. Overpromised Lead Quality: Leads were marketed as “hot,” but often required heavy cold outreach and nurturing. Uncompetitive Pricing: Homes were less competitively priced than presented, making deals harder to close. Outdated Systems: No CRM in place — all contracts, scheduling, and buyer info were managed using paper, creating inefficiencies and errors. Earnings Instability: Inconsistent pipeline made reliable income difficult to achieve. Misleading Recruitment Messaging: Large gap between recruiting pitch and actual experience on the sales floor.

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!!!
