Do not work here if you are trying to grow your career

Associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits - 401k, lifestyle spending account $500, medical dental, HSA, tuition reiumbursement, housing stipend

Cons

ZERO growth in career Stagnant organization Taken over by Pulte so mass layoffs, negative people, zero transparency now, systems out of wack, it is just a waiting game it felt like. I got laid off in CRCD two weeks ago. I’m actually very happy because I do not want to be working for a basket organization like FM. They put you in golden handcuffs so you don’t leave and then fire you without notice. The benefits are NOT worth the cost and stress of Pulte’s nonsense

Pros

Good compensation and outstanding benefits. The mission is amazing if this administration allows us to achieve it.

Cons

It is unbelievable how bad things have gotten in just two months. Pulte fired our Board and took over as chairman, forced employees to return to the office with three days notice, is mandating layoffs- including firing all DEI and mission staff- and won’t let management communicate anything to employees. It’s really awful right now- so incredibly discouraging.
