Think Twice before working for the Kirkland Division, WA
Pros
Good Medical Benefits, 401K. I had a great set of co-workers to work with. Sales are good and there is a nice backlog.
Cons
Low Starting salary which is not reflected in the Salary section on Glass Door. No training on process or procedures. Cam West was bought by Toll Brothers 3yrs ago and transition has been extremely difficult. Senior Management set's building schedules and under staffs the field. I chose Toll Brothers to switch my career path due to being offered the ability to build Quality Executive Homes. This did not materialize. Management settles on the lowest bidder, cheapest materials as well as "Production" schedules which are ineffective. You can shine at review time and yet if your not "One of the Gang" be overlooked for bonus or promotion. I witnessed a Senior VP throw his hardhat across a vacant lot, throwing a temper tantrum like my 6yr old. Unimpressed with the Seattle Division. Cannot recommend for a career choice. Finish the Land Development first, then start the homes.
