Pros

Rapid promotion, decent salary, and guidance for newcomers. Decent vacation time on an increasing scale for tenure. Many people who have been with the company have been there for many years.

Cons

Horrible work life balance. Insane pressure to succeed. Very little support with a massive workload for both day to day items and long term projects. The need to be both customer facing, and accountable to the Board of Directors of your assigned communities as well as the company as a whole. Constant threat of losing your communities if you fail to perform based on the whims of Board Members and the feeling that the company would hold you responsible for such a loss. The company also is severely antiquated with many employees doing work by paper rather than digitally. Too often would I see someone print up a document, sign it, and then scan it back into the system rather than just sign it digitally, and that’s just surface level technology issues. No one there really knows how to use a computer in general. The margins are razor thin and contracts are won or lost for pennies on the dollar. This makes the pressure to deliver for your community much higher while working with fewer resources. Extremely high turnover even for certain high level positions. During my tenure at the company I witnessed multiple portfolio managers, executives, branch directors, and general managers leave to take roles at competing companies or just to get out entirely. There were also many who retired and a few who were fired. Overall the company is poorly run and managed, and you often feel as though you on your own to figure most things out. The company hierarchy is also confusing and knowing what resources you have available to you is often a struggle.
