Pros

The pay and benefits are definitely big pros. Salary that was offered to me was more than I asked for. Insurance is pretty cheap with a few plans to choose from for health insurance. We went with the middle plan for our family and only cost about $240/month out of pocket ($120/pay check) and while it is a higher deductible plan ($4K family deductible for the plan we chose) the company offers an HSA and matches up to $100/month to put towards it. 15 days off per year for most everyone* plus 11 company holidays is really nice as well. * It always amuses me when sales people complain about having to work evenings and weekends. That is when people tour homes and can meet most of the time. You knew this going into the job.

Cons

As with a lot of production builders, the turn over can be pretty high at times. Especially in the construction department. And while they don't micromanage your daily schedule, the company is a "reports driven" company. So you will have to answer for anything not going 100% on schedule that shows up on multiple reports at the division, regional and company wide level.

Pros

I have never been so impressed with the upper management of a company. All of the area managers and above will take the time to get to know you and teach you how to succeed at this company. If you ask for it, they give you the training that you need.

Cons

Some of the employees are not as professional in speech or conduct as I would desire but it is construction and all of the upper management are very professional.

Pros

Really can't recall any positive attributes. It was a job that I wasted a year of my life at. The only positive was being at the worst company possible in order to make all others seem so much better.

Cons

Micromanagement, the worst management I have seen in 15 years of homebuilding. Management doesn’t follow bonus guidelines and makes promises that they will never keep. The quarterly bonus system is a joke.
