Pros

Ryan Homes is a very good home builder and has the sales and home building process down to a science.

Cons

This is a great job for someone who is very aggressive, can take orders without question and follows the Ryan Homes process. It is an unspoken rule that you are never to speak your mind. The better reps are required to sell more homes and therefore work more hours to make the same money due to their quota system which is based on ability of the sales person not the situation they are in. There are people who have sold twice as many homes in a more difficult environment and have made less money than someone who sold half as many homes in a less challenging situation. Promotions are dangled over your head every time they think you are unhappy and might quit. However at the next interview panel your name is somehow left off the list and there is always a reason why that promotion would not have been a good fit. However, something better is just around the corner and you will be kept in mind for that one.

Pros

The Charleston Division is an incredible group of professionals. NVR/Ryan Homes might be a large home builder, but here, you will feel like you are part of a family. The training is the best I've ever experienced. You will be supported in every way, as long as you are communicative and transparent with management. In turn, you will be expected to show up, conduct yourself in a professional manner at all times, and work hard. Your training will prepare you for success, and you will need to use what you learned. It works! You get one weekend off each month, which I never had with other builders. Sadly, I had to leave due to a move, and a position was not open in my new area so I could transfer.

Cons

I can't think of any

Pros

Good commission structure with early payouts, qualify hoe, solid benefits, and a professional sales environment. Training and system were well organized.

Cons

Lead volume was inconsistent and often too light to generate a sustainable income. Pricing and market positioning made it difficult to compete in my area, resulting in fewer opportunities than expected. Success depended heavily on market conditions and traffic.
