      Pros

      Management, process and professionalism. Great team to work for. Even though most designers are remote there is still the feeling of being part of a team.

      Cons

      Pay and benefits. Designers are hourly and depend heavily on overtime pay to make a decent amount of money. That makes vacations impossible for most people. Offer a top level salary to the top level players and they will stay! Health plan is weak for such a large company. They can do better.

      Pros

      The home building industry is booming so job security is there

      Cons

      Leadership is all male-dominated and nepotism is king! Unethical behavior at its finest! If you know the right people you can name your position and double your salary in six months without a degree or experience. If you have experience and knowledge you can be ousted if any one of leadership’s pawns doesn’t like you. The legal department is crooked and uses any and all “illegal” tactics to “resolve” a situation. HR is no help. They are in leadership’s pocket. What’s the point of open-door policy if HR just reports it right back to the leaders and person of interest?
