Pros

Pulte's best asset is their employees. When the market is good, you can make great money.

Cons

With the down market, this is not a good time to work for Pulte. If you meet your goal one month then you are praised, but if you miss your goal the next month then management completely forgets about the good month you just had. Management does not consider factors that are beyond your control. Over the last year or so, it has been very hard to watch how quickly Pulte will turn their back on their employees. You can work here for years, dedicate so much of your time into this company, and management shows no remorse for letting people go. The majority of all the employees are very unhappy. It is no longer a good working atmosphere. They are taking advantage of the difficult economy & mistreating their employees because they think they are afraid to find another job. The reason people are sticking around is because they actually like the job itself and their co-workers, but eventually all these unrealistic demands from management are going to cause their employees to go somewhere else.

Pros

Overall a good place to work, nice people, good work/life balance, decent pay, and some perks.

Cons

Overall it was a great work/life balance, great people, fun culture, decent pay, and ton of perks. Just stay away from the Procurement Department. The 2 Managers: Are inexperienced at managing people and lack leadership skills. They are Hostile Communicators, aggressive, dishonest, impatient, tone deaf, disrespectful, temperamental, manage via group email, and conduct meetings like an interrogation. They demand authority and will assassinate your character if you question them in anyway. Spend all day with each other and only talk to their staff if they need something. The heavy workload would be fine if it counted towards something, but management gives everyone an average performance review. So it doesn’t matter if you are a hard worker or do the bare minimum. Promotions are based on personality and not performance. The one promotion I seen was said manager getting promoted from manager to director. Sets very high standards for performance without providing clear guidelines on how to reach them and cannot give you a clear answer about how to develop or thrive in your position.

Pros

People are nice enough to your face. My direct manager is very nice and does their job the best they can. The direct team that I work with is also great despite the challenges we face that I will outline in the cons.

Cons

If you're a person of color, queer, disabled, or anyone that isn't a white Christian man, RUN. Lots of hateful things are flung around by employees, senior or not, that consistently make me and other coworkers feel, at the minimum, unwelcome. The division I'm in originally promised full-time remote work, but then slipped that rug out from under us at least for our department. My manager often gets described as controlling by most people under them, and turnover has been terrible as a result. Upper management is still being wishy-washy when it comes to requiring vaccines at the time of writing (Dec 2021, before the deadline), and lots of unvaccinated people are playing hooky with mask rules in my office. I'm vaccinated and still wear my mask because I feel like I'm unable to trust my coworkers to care about anybody but themselves. Other than that, pay is much lower than average, and there's definitely a gender pay disparity, at least in my division and department. You will be worked to the bone and get nothing but meaningless platitudes in return. I made 30% more money doing half of the work at other companies. Your work will be valued more elsewhere. Pulte, at least in my division, is just more concerned about making profit margins even bigger than before, even if it means getting rid of the work-life balance that they once touted so much.

Please contact your local Pulte HR Manager immediately. If you are feeling or experiencing these issues, we need to address asap! This is atypical of our culture and against our guiding principles.
