Pros

M/I Homes seems to pay a fair salary

Cons

One of the founders had a saying, "Don't forget to treat my customers right", or some such sentiment. Unfortunately, M/I doesn't carry this sentiment over to its employees. As in any organization, the tone is set at the top and, in this case, the culture is toxic. Huge egos in leadership. Cliques - again, bred by top leaders. Racist/mysoginist undertones. And general disrespect of employees in general. No parental leave offered, no flexible/hybrid work possibilities, few holidays and only 2 weeks of vacation until year 5. If M/I is your only option, I would go into it as a stepping stone type of position to get some experience and keep on the lookout for a more progressive company, if possible.

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.
