Pros

I would suppose the salaries depending on your position....that's all I can think of.

Cons

I'm not going to go into this long long response. It is just important for me to share to the person reading this that the good reviews are fake and were solicited by the company. Please trust me. I'm just trying to save you from the painful Meritage process which is taking the job, about six months in realizing that you made an absolutely horrible mistake...and then after that you will stay because you don't want it to look like you jump around on your resume, but during that time you will be absolutely MISERABLE and then you will just decide to take your chances and job search and have to explain a departure after 1-1.5 years of employment to a potential employer. During all of this...misery. You will most likely be miserable prior to your first 6 months. So...you have been warned and told the truth. The health insurance is a low cost monthly, but very high premiums. Good luck.

We are disappointed that your time with us wasn’t what you expected; sometimes a position does not work out and people need to move on. As you can see from other satisfied reviews however, that many of our employees feel differently. Rest assured that these reviews are from real people detailing their own personal experiences. Meritage, has not and will not, solicit fake positive reviews. One of our core values is integrity and we maintain that in all areas of our business. Should you wish to productively voice your concerns, we encourage you to reach out to your former HR Business Partner.

Pros

slightly above market average compensation

Cons

The culture has been deteriorating for several years to a point were it has become a toxic place to work. They over work employees, demand unreasonable expectations, and there is a total lack of "empowerment". The email load is unbearable/unmanageable at almost every level and in every department
