Pros

DP is great.....that's it. Pay is ok.

Cons

No management help, preach 100% ready but will move a house up 2-3 weeks every time. Contractors well.....complain they never get paid and no one shows up without screaming. Bonuses never paid on time. 1 day we have 3 area managers next we have 2 ... didn't matter none of them never answered or helped. People that should be promoted get ignored but they still try to help everyone out to keep the ship a float. 3-4 or guys that helped me everyday are the only reason I stayed as long as I did. I am thankful to return to a better structured workplace. Meritage claims advancement opportunities when they hired me but I didn't see one path within the company that would lead to a new job. DONT LET THEM KNOW YOUR LEAVING TO GO TO ANOTHER BUILDER THEY WILL FIRE YOU ON THE SPOT.

Great culture with leadership team that is supportive and approachable.

Cons

Priorities can shift with market fluctuations (as expected) so there are times when expectations are high and pressure is increased.

Pros

Fairly flexable schedule. Good culture.

Cons

High stress with very stressed out homeoweners all the time. Corporated expects perfect surveys. CM's often kick major issues down the road to you until you have to deal with them.
