Pros

When I started Construction Staff was very team oriented and helped each other.

Cons

Over the past year things have changed tremendously. Now Construction Managers are throwing each other under the bus over bonuses. Director of Construction is not paying bonus even when it’s earned. Management doesn’t give you an explanation of your bonus, they just expect you to be grateful for whatever they decide to pay you. I caught them changing negative surveys from one CM to me but it took me 2 months to get them to admit it. I was told they would make it right but instead I lost close to $3000 and the other CM was awarded Builder of the Year. There is some shenanigans going on at the top and we are loosing Construction Managers faster than they can hire more. Of course this just adds more work to the rest of us with the understanding we are in a no win situation. When you are covered up with houses and homeowners are not happy it just continues to create more and more negative surveys. In turn we are working harder and responsible for more but making less because of surveys and bonus structure. I see why a lot of people are leaving and I hope there is still some jobs out there for me because it’s time for me to make a change as well.

Pros

Earning potential was great, benefits were decent.

Cons

An incredibly toxic work environment defined by micromanagement, constantly shifting and unrealistic sales goals, and a leadership team that often operated more like enforcers than mentors. Targets were routinely increased at the end of each quarter, effectively stripping salespeople of earned bonuses and eroding trust. The culture leaned heavily on intimidation and public pressure. Sales meetings often felt more like performance critiques than coaching, and required role-playing exercises were frequently uncomfortable and unnecessary. There was a consistent pattern of favoritism, where poor behavior was overlooked for some while others were held to entirely different standards. Management’s approach to motivation relied too heavily on guilt and financial pressure, with paid time off subtly discouraged and income used as leverage rather than support. Collaboration was undermined by leadership creating internal competition in ways that felt divisive rather than productive. There were also multiple instances of inappropriate and racially insensitive remarks made in group settings, which further contributed to an unprofessional and uncomfortable environment. Overall, while the role had potential, the culture and leadership practices made it difficult to succeed or feel respected.
