Pros

The co-workers you meet that will be spending more time with you than your own family because of LONNNNNGGG HOURS!

Cons

Working for LGI Homes was one of the worst professional experiences I’ve ever had. This company operates more like a cult than a business. From day one, they make grand promises high income potential, fast-track career growth, and a supportive culture. but none of it holds up. In reality, you’ll burn through your savings trying to stay afloat. They pressure new hires into buying a brand-new car (yes, seriously) just to hold you hostage for that job with the new loan you got ” and they force to add them to your insurance and of course that means higher insurance costs too. Once you're in, you're locked into brutally long hours with no real flexibility or work-life balance. The product? Extremely low-quality homes at inflated prices. LGI targets customers who aren’t familiar with home buying and pushes sales through high-pressure tactics. It’s unsettling how they take advantage of people who don’t know better. Meanwhile, sales reps are expected to grind through hundreds of unqualified leads using a pen and a paper like 1890, no CRM no technology They claim you'll make good money, but you won't , they buy lots and build where not even cockroaches wants to live,, and working yourself into the ground. High turnover is the norm here; they’re constantly hiring new reps every 3 months just to keep up appearances. Management pretends to care by remembering your name lol don’t just give me my money! Bottom line: LGI Homes is a toxic, misleading, and soul draining environment. Save your time, your money, and your sanity—look elsewhere.

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!!!
