Pros

Pay (if you bonus), not expected to work weekends, off major holidays. It is a great starting position to learn and grow in the construction industry. You will be so involved with the build process and customer service, you will be able to transition to another field with ease. For the most part your coworkers and sales staff are good to work with it.

Cons

Old school culture hidden behind progressive words. Profits are greater than People. A "Yes Man" mentality throughout upper management. Those who remain, remain because they are paid well and keep their mouth shut, not because they want to be there. You would be surprised the how negatively staff speaks of the company in the field. Not willing to modernize and accept the reality of housing market. Wants to pay trades like Lennar but sell like Toll Brothers. Company does not lay off, they terminate, and they'll find a reason if you're not in the inner circle. When we get past this housing crisis, they will be the only builder in America with "0 layoffs"

Pros

Looks good on resume so you can leave

Cons

From the outside, this company looks polished and well-run, but working here feels very different. There’s a real lack of transparency from leadership, and decisions tend to be made behind closed doors by a boys club with little explanation or accountability all while using the branding of being woman led to hide this. A lot of lower-level managers are brought in straight out of school and they’re quickly shaped to fall in line rather than think independently or advocate for their teams. “Independent thinking” gets talked about a lot, but it often feels like it’s only welcomed if it aligns and protects leadership’s views. In many cases where reporting was questioned, the VP in charge through employees under the bus instead of taking ownership. In some departments, there’s heavy reliance on temp-to-hire roles. It creates the impression that employees are viewed as easily replaceable, with little long-term investment in their growth or stability. That kind of structure can make people feel disposable and hesitant to fully engage. One of the biggest issues is how concerns are handled. People who speak up about real problems can end up being labeled “unprofessional” without much explanation or documentation. There is an intentional culture created where employees keep their heads down instead of being honest. There’s a clear gap between what the company says it stands for and how things actually operate day to day. Over time, that disconnect makes it hard to trust leadership or feel confident in the direction of the organization.
