Pros

Ryan Homes is a very good home builder and has the sales and home building process down to a science.

Cons

This is a great job for someone who is very aggressive, can take orders without question and follows the Ryan Homes process. It is an unspoken rule that you are never to speak your mind. The better reps are required to sell more homes and therefore work more hours to make the same money due to their quota system which is based on ability of the sales person not the situation they are in. There are people who have sold twice as many homes in a more difficult environment and have made less money than someone who sold half as many homes in a less challenging situation. Promotions are dangled over your head every time they think you are unhappy and might quit. However at the next interview panel your name is somehow left off the list and there is always a reason why that promotion would not have been a good fit. However, something better is just around the corner and you will be kept in mind for that one.

Pros

$$$$, training, if you have a sales mentality and produce this is a great place to work. Company is stable and also profit driven so if you are in the home building industry there isnt a better place.

Cons

Everything depends on what division you work for, no upward mobility, promotions are based off of relationships not merit, schedule sucks (but comes with the territory), they do not want anyone to think- execute only, new reps typically have to prove themselves and struggle in tougher communities but it can be done. (again expect this prior to starting).
