Meritage Homes Atlanta - The best in the city!

Pros

Meritage Homes is a great company that really puts their employees first. There has never been a moment in my career here where I felt like my voice wasn't heard or that people weren't constantly pushing me forward. I am constantly getting the motivation from my peers as well as my managers to give feedback in order to make Meritage even better. I must also mention that the quality of the product we sell exceeds our competitors by a long shot and it is easy to see why!

Cons

I would love if they had potato chips on our side of the office... I have to walk over to regional to get them.
