Pros

Good money and benefits, most people at the company are great, fun work environment pre-covid with sales teams outings/company events

Cons

Management is awful. No communication between management and employees yet they expected us to give 110% effort 24/7. They sent us back to work during covid without proper PPE while everyone else in the company was allowed to work from home. No flexibility with PTO days, they make you feel bad for taking them, or punish you by scheduling it for you even if you have to go to the doctor/hospital or are sick. They acquired another builder early 2020 and brought on new management and sales reps who all played favorites with each other and tried to play victim that we were not inclusive towards them. They reward the bad behavior and those who have caused actual damage or been a liability to the company, yet punish the good sales reps who do nothing wrong but voice their opinions or concerns. They have 'eliminated' multiple positions, giving them to employees who came from the other builder they acquired, and forced people out. You will be severely overworked and under paid if you work here. They do not care about their employees, all they care about are breaking sales records so management gets bonuses. They put sales reps on freezes/capped their monthly sales for no logical reason. No other builder was doing this, and realtors who have been in the industry a very long time were even concerned of why they were doing this. This company is getting driven into the ground, do not risk leaving your current position to work here. 0/10 recommendation.

Pros

Earning potential was great, benefits were decent.

Cons

An incredibly toxic work environment defined by micromanagement, constantly shifting and unrealistic sales goals, and a leadership team that often operated more like enforcers than mentors. Targets were routinely increased at the end of each quarter, effectively stripping salespeople of earned bonuses and eroding trust. The culture leaned heavily on intimidation and public pressure. Sales meetings often felt more like performance critiques than coaching, and required role-playing exercises were frequently uncomfortable and unnecessary. There was a consistent pattern of favoritism, where poor behavior was overlooked for some while others were held to entirely different standards. Management’s approach to motivation relied too heavily on guilt and financial pressure, with paid time off subtly discouraged and income used as leverage rather than support. Collaboration was undermined by leadership creating internal competition in ways that felt divisive rather than productive. There were also multiple instances of inappropriate and racially insensitive remarks made in group settings, which further contributed to an unprofessional and uncomfortable environment. Overall, while the role had potential, the culture and leadership practices made it difficult to succeed or feel respected.
