Pros

Work space was somewhat ok.

Cons

Terrible management/ownership. Very management top heavy, needed to constantly train, because they cannot keep anyone in a sale position for a long period of time. It's a revolving door of sales people.

Pros

Benefits overall were good if you work internally - not in sales positions. Sales positions could make 100k +/year if you kiss enough butt to get into a selling neighborhood, then work 60-80 every single week for a year or so, continue to take your managers verbal and mental abuse to make it to see the closings to get paid. The nagging never stops.

Cons

Never ending nagging. No sales numbers are ever good enough. If you aren't a total Yes man and are willing to have absolutely no personal life and like to live in fear of losing your job (which also means losing your earned commissions) or losing your neighborhood that you have worked so hard to build.. its a good place to work.

Pros

-Bonuses are good -Benefits are competitive but not wonderful

Cons

-Terrible at staffing. They botched their forecasts and over-hired only to fire several field managers less than 1 year after hiring, claiming it was a "business decision" -Culture is awful--cliques abound. If you don't go drink with the team after hours you're seen as an outsider -Leadership gossips a lot to their field manager IV's "in confidence", but word gets out. And fast. -Leadership is way too young for a construction company. Both construction managers are in their mid to late 20's -One construction manager is a decent servant leader but will bow down to market president at a moment's notice. The other construction manager expects to be served. -Market president has no clue about construction and struggles to properly manage the sales staff -Sales manager walked out with no notice--which confirms the market president is a poor leader -The micromanagement has gone way overboard. There is a 41-page "Fischer Playbook" checklist to fill out bi-weekly. 41 pages. It takes about 5 hours to do completely and correctly. They expect field managers to inspect *and document* everything--down to the toilet paper in the model bathroom. -Field Managers are promoted more out of necessity than out of qualification. Everyone is too young. -Estimates and/or PO's are often incorrect, causing headaches in the field -Friday morning "huddles" to talk about "wow moments" are a complete waste of time. They are mandatory and it's nothing but a brain drain at 9am, when field managers should be walking jobs or catching inspections, etc. -Field managers are held accountable for everyone else's mistakes
