Pros

I truly cannot think of any pros to working for this company.

Cons

I worked for LGI Homes for 6 months, and it was one of the most misleading and disappointing experiences of my career. From day one, I was sold a dream that simply doesn’t exist. They promise incredible income potential and success stories from other states, but the reality is far different. The hours are extremely long, and you’re not allowed to leave the model home. Management micromanages every single move, creating a stressful and toxic environment. You’re required to have a commercial policy on your car, and it must be less than five years old — an expense they don’t clearly disclose upfront. There are typically four to five sales agents assigned to the same model home, which makes it cutthroat and highly competitive. Despite being told you’d have “unlimited earning potential,” the structure makes it very difficult to close deals and actually make a decent living. To make things worse, LGI doesn’t use a CRM system — everything is tracked on handwritten note cards — which feels outdated, inefficient, and chaotic. I left feeling completely lied to and financially set back. This company hypes you up with false promises but doesn’t deliver on any of them. If you’re considering working here, please take this as your warning: think twice before you do.

Pros

nothing to think of in 2025 going in 2026

Cons

Everything, run away don't buy into the "company sell" where you are shown less that 4-5% of the sales team's earning in the ENTIRE company and get told that everyone here makes it, where EVERYONE has been quitting and the stock is down to $40 a share after getting pressured to buy more and more in every "Goals" meeting with your manager that is a guard between you and any comms about your deals, we don't take outside lending, don't pay realtors and look for ways to say "oh the client reached out before so we won't pay you" and losing relations is LGI number 1 goal now, sleazy managers that lie all the time, you are sup[posed to do sales and loan officer jobs as well; income calls and collecting of docs (which is not ok unless you are the licensed loan officer) it's like the CEO and COO are betting against the company and shorting it or something by keeping the current managers and hiring new ones that either quite right away or they get demoted to sales..
