IT MAY BE BETTER THAN NOTHING...maybe.

Pros

The company has decent wages and PTO.

Cons

I have to agree with previous poster, where do you start? Commission was once great, it's no2 being taken away in large part. The upper management doesn't care one bit about people at the community level. They can't even acknowledge the holidays even though they are lavishing themselves parties and events. They do not know from one week to the next if they are sale or rentals, or sales...uughh. You cannot offer an opinion to anyone higher than you because they don't believe you are as intelligent as they are. The CEO must be blind. Our region is clearly in dirty dealings and it's obvious to everyone around. You don't dare make your concerns known since the person responsible clearly lets you know that you can be dismissed at any time. The best way to get promoted is by kissing up to the right people. Merit means nothing to these people. They have mediocre health care at best and if you are less than a manager you have even less insurance. They grandstand about all their purchases and how much those cost but do nothing for the people who work hardest to provide the company with that money. They cannot see anything long term. They are only worried about presenting the monthly numbers to the stockholders. Someone should investigate some of the obvious bad deals they continue to do with the same companies. Looks like someone is probably getting a large kickback. No person in their right mind would continue to have the company getting ripped off unless their hands were dirty. I would say I have hit all points but there simply isn't enough time. Unless you have nothing better on the horizon, don't work here.

Pros

Being able to develop a team on your own. PTO, decent 401K option.

Cons

We talk a good game but we aren't living that life. We continue to have issues with inclusion, unwelcome work practices, cuts in pay, bad raises, bad insurance, mediocre base pay for property level employees and ever changing bad software programs.

Pros

Highly collaborative culture with a true open-door policy. This is a company that is taking the time to listen to their employees and to use what they learn to improve and change.

Cons

With a company this size, change takes time. It can also be a challenge to get the word out about programs and opportunities to all members of the organization.
