Pros

Benefits, Health Insurance, and if you do well, they MIGHT send you to Hawaii.

Cons

Where to begin... There is hardly ANY room for advancement/raises/promotions Everyone who works there sound like robots, Example: "David Weekley is the best man ever. He is just SO generous and SO kind! We just love working here" There are a lot of people over the age of 55 who have been there for AGES... tenure sounds good and all, but these people have drank the koolaid and they have SETTLED. They are usually pretty miserable knowing they have plateau-ed...flatlined... they have reached their max on salary and they have just accepted it! Unbelievable. They are cranky, old, and realize that "this is the best I am going to get... David Weekley is SO great...." They are brainwashed. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE OUT IN THE WORLD!!! When I had been there for almost a year, I asked my supervisor when I would get a raise, or a promotion to a higher position... and he LAUGHED at me, and told me "Oh, yeah, you are definitely 5-10 years out of being in ANY management position or getting anything more than a $500 raise." Yeah, I am 25 years old. I am not about to settle for a job like that.

Pros

amazing culture, and you're usually treated like a business owner thats not micromanaged. I got the job when I was in my early 20s, and they trusted me with alot and let me fail and learn. profit sharing is great when you get it, but recently the housing market has been horrible so nobody is getting it. My PM is great and he makes sure I know that he's on my side. Training is great too - they make sure everyone is ot only up to date on new building knowledge, but they constantly invest in our knowledge base so we are all performing at our best. Upper management is also amazing. they are not on their high horse and unapproachable, and they genuinely care about their team.

Cons

You've heard it a thousand times on this page. The pay sucks, at least when compared to other builders. I'm single with no big payments or dependants, so I'm fine for now. However, I've heard other builders with different companies getting paid literally twice as much as me even with my bonuses, and I'm one of the top builders in the city when it comes to build time. Your satisfaction level also depends on the PM you have - mine is great, but others are heavy micromanagers that don't let you do a thing without their approval. They also put a massive emphasis on surveys, and there is zero tolerance for even irrational buyers. They say "that's why our goal is 90%", but that mentality is unfortunately not put into practice.
