Exceptional customer service is one of our core values. We do give our customers weekly updates regarding the status of their new home. Thanks for the feedback, we are going to share this with management.

Pros

By far the best sales training I have received. The company does a good job ensuring everyone understands the sales process and that every sales rep is ready to take their first customer the LGI way. Yearly trips are great. Great relationships built with amazing and talented people throughout the real estate industry.

Cons

The senior management is very rude and belittles employees. Corporate leaders love to intimidate employees at their work locations and harbor an environment where everyone feels like they have to walk on eggshells. When they ask you how things are going, people are afraid to speak up and really be honest because they take offense and fire you. The company prides itself on never laying off any employees, yet the fire people left and right. It's a revolving door, something you should ask when interviewing. It seems like the only people that get promoted are liars and brown nosers. There is a lack of work life balance. This is not the job you want if you want to be home by dinner time. Not the job you want if you want to spend time with your kids and family. Not the job you want if you want to be treated with respect. The core values are just written and not followed by top management, they encourage a toxic environment. I can spend another 30 minutes writing more negatives. The negatives sure outweigh the positives.

Pros

Top brass are as open and caring as any executives I could ever hope to work for. From the first day the CEO and COO knows everybody's name and works hard to get to know us on a personal level. My son turned 1 a month or so after I started and he received a signed card from the CEO and a $2 bill. We spell his name the Irish way and have relatives not spell it right but he did. The Atlanta division president and VP are always available and willing to help. Great compensation, benefits, and incentives. Gives us all the tools needed to be successful in our job. Plenty of leads. Paid Vacation. Great earning potential. Ability to move up.

Cons

Sales so it can be cut throat at times when commissions are involved depending on who you work with is how good or bad it can be. Can be long hours but you get what you put in and good time management can keep your hours in check.
