Pros

Decent starting salary Work phone & Ipad

Cons

No room to move up through the company No continuity between upper management, middle management, sales, and CM’s. Burned out subcontractors that you have no way of holding accountable. This forces the CM to work on the house themselves or face negative customer reviews. CM’s are not supported by M/I. Every man for himself type of work culture. You’d better hope you have good coworkers to help you out when you inevitably need it or you will be up the creek w/o a paddle. Insane amount of turnover. You’ll have to finish other CM’s houses who burnout before you do. The smart and talented employees leave. There’s a few guys who are good and old school and have stuck around because of that but yea, anyone with ambition is going to go somewhere where they’re more supported and can move up through the company.

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.
