Pros

Good company benefits. The health insurance and 401k matching is a nice perk. Gained a lot of job experience, learning how to work as a team, and skills that can build my resume.

Cons

Toll Brothers is a company based on the bottom line. Honestly, who can blame them? But their way of saving money is by having one person playing multiple roles, for long periods of time, to the point of burnout or failure. The home sales division of the company is the true money-maker, but if you're in any other place in the company (Golf division) its easy to get left behind. There is very little room to grow unless you happen to be at the right place at the right time. The upper management level seems to be well compensated, but anyone below that level makes extremely low pay for the amount of work they're required to accomplish. The corporate level of management micro-manages all the way down to the smallest roles and enforces office-level rules on all employees no matter if they work in a cubicle 9-5 or in a country club pulling 12 hour days.

Great income potential if you are ready to sacrifice everything for your job.

Pros

Many qualified people, great company reputation outside people instantly recognize, and good opportunities to learn and train in different facets of the business.

Cons

There is not enough room to write about all the cons with toll brothers. For one, with a company this large it's like trying to turn a cruise ship to make any sort of logical change or adjustment. No one local or on site has any power or authority to make real decisions or changes. There is such a long process and ladder to get anything approved or changed it's frustrating. The people at the top of the chain who ultimately make the final decisions on most things are usually so out of touch (location, and relationship wise) it's counterproductive. A regional president stationed in Pennsylvania should not decide lot premiums in south Florida. Another huge issue is pay. Toll is so cheap and unappreciative to employees who work so hard, long hours, and many years of their life building their business. They pay as cheap as possible and if you ask for a higher compensation they have no issue letting you go and watching a new person walk through the door to take your place at a lower rate. I worked for toll for 3 years and in that time I watched every project manger, construction manger, sales associate, and PA (project administrator) in my community quit and be replaced. The turnover at toll is crazy. They waste so much money training employees who they underpay and ultimately quit and work for other builders.
