Pros

- Employee discount on homes after certain amount of time working there - Big Salary if you want to have no life - Easy to sell

Cons

- Culture is awful. It's sales so be prepared to work with two faced people who will do anything to beat you in commissions - Coworkers are trashy and uneducated - Corporate events are drunk fests - Terrible Management; they were distant and unhelpful. They often seemed like they were trying to find ways to write up employees. Treated us like numbers and not people - LONG Hours, required to work until the sun goes down (You basically will never have time off even on your "off days") - You will never really have time for your family, kids, friends, etc. outside of work - Backlog is very extensive - Commute is long most days in training (average of an hour drive to the neighborhood). Neighborhoods are very spread out and in the middle of nowhere - Only one Saturday off of work every 6 months - Training salary is extremely low (roughly $13 / hour) - No structure to training, very much sink or swim - They live by "the customer is always right" even if the customer is completely in the wrong and verbally attacks you (happens often) - Customers will treat you like their servants and expect you to bend over backwards constantly even when they have unreasonable requests During COVID: - Management did not enforce any employees to wear masks even though there were multiple outbreaks in the office frequently - Management kept outbreaks a secret from sales reps out in the field

Pros

You get paid well. The more you care, the better the reputation you will create and the better the clients will be.

Cons

Depending on community you get it can be more of a grind and take some time to get it running the way it needs to be. The drive to a community may be far from your house.

Pros

Amazing team environment. Pay and benefits are very strong as well. They take care of their employees.

Cons

Be expected to put in more than just the typical 9-5 work schedule.
