Toll Brothers reviews

I experienced a lot of discrimination here and I felt very unsafe in being myself just based on the behavior of how people treated me when I did not conform to traditional tastes. I was told to wear brighter colors, makeup, and heels. This is a very traditional workplace that is very hesitant to change from the culture, to the people and the mindset. If you are looking for innovation and a forward way of looking, this is not really the place to be. Some people thrive in environments like this; I did not. I generally liked who I was working with, but people were very siloed and things were often not communicated well. I never really clicked or felt a part of a team or of the company. I felt that the people who worked the hardest and cared the most (which wasn't me) were not compensated enough for their effort and what they added to their teams in terms of value. Raises are very paltry, and the PTO and benefits pretty much suck. They say they offer benefits above the industry standard, but if this is "above" the industry standard, then, to me, something needs to change. If you really want to be an industry leader, you have to show out for your employees because they are the ones bringing in the revenue. Advancement options were pretty boring, but this company and job were also not good fits for me. Compensation was alright, but whether you are good or bad at your job it doesn't really turn in to any titillating raises. I was able to take PTO when I asked for it, but I always felt like I had to give a good reason to take it versus it being my earned PTO and some things are very personal. Representation in terms of gender, race and other identities is not really a thing here, though they try. Could get better in the future. Work-life balance was OK but they were very set on very traditional hours; I witnessed not much trust from management to their teams, as it seemed people thought productivity is equal to how many hours they see you working. Again, this is a very traditional place. My experience in work life balance was an anomaly amongst many of my coworkers who told me of the anxiety and panic attacks their jobs caused them and their fear of speaking of it in case they were seen as being weak or unable to handle the workload and, thus, able to be fired and replaced with someone who would not say anything. In reality, there were not enough people for the work given already as they cut down on positions and redistributed the work to the already over-worked without much regard for these peoples' wellbeing. Your direct management would be willing to stand up for you, but more senior management would generally have numbers/quotas and asks to be met that did not account for the health and wellness of people getting that work to them. Senior Management isn't very inspiring. Culture and values felt very outdated and flawed to me, but I never felt like I had much of a say anyway.

Tail-wags-dog style of departmental control. HR and legal department are running the company. Gestopo management tactics encourages departments and employees to "rat" each other out. Constant bickering and sniping at others is the norm even at upper levels of management.
