Toll Brothers Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Drove over an hour to get to the interview. The person doing the interview was overan hour behind! I went into the interview, the gentleman was on his phone, the young lady was in a hurry. The interview lasted ten minutes and there wer no typical quetions that are typically asked in an interview. I was an actual sales manager for a National builder that used to hire and fire employees. This was one of the worst interviews that I have ever had.

Interview Details – The interview was very competently arranged by an office administrator. I drove across town and met with a very unimpressive young man who acted like he was unprepared and did not know what questions to ask. This waste of my time was no interview. His vague questions were vague and not on point. I had the distinct impression that a decision was already made and that he was just barely going through the motions with me. Having made hires myself over the years, I would have been embarrassed to have this kind of interview being presented as representative of this company. I decided I wasn't interested.

Interview Details – Ironically I was contacted after I accepted an offer from another home builder in the Phoenix area. The only reason I considered speaking to Toll Brothers is because I have loved the product they build for many years, and I always wanted to get into the semi-custom building industry.
I met with one of Toll Brother's project managers on a Friday afternoon and we hit it off instantly. We spoke for almost a hour and a half. I received a call just a couple days later to meet with their VP, and again the meeting went very well.

Interview Details – Interview was excellent. Was met in lobby by recruiter. Interview lasted a full hour with no interruptions. Discussion was wide ranging, not just about job specifics.

Interview Details – Applied from job post to an Assistant Manager position at an existing community that had numerous unsold inventory homes. It was at the height of the housing collapse and management needed the homes sold. I was interviewed by a regional manager and a senior VP (both located locally at our division offices). They were looking for an aggressive salesperson, not your normal "Ruth Tight-Hind" type snooty female. I had prior auto sales experience, which I believe helped me win - over at least 50 other applicants.

We were encouraged to accept offers from clients and to their credit, management did a pretty good job getting some pretty hefty reductions approved. I was promoted to sales manager after the existing manager was (finally!) found to be inept. Inept means she sold 2 homes to my 12, yes - 12 homes. I kicked but that year, selling out the community with a total of 31 sales in 18 months. Very fortunate and lucky to have such an opportunity.

Company is Fortune 500, so expect the typical BS. Beware, they record what goes on in the work place, hidden cameras. They shop you often and only show you the footage if they have to castigate you for bad salesmanship.

Negotiation Details – Tried, failed. Package is good, but don't look at my deal, it was once in a lifetime. Job can go months without a closing, so be prepared to live off the base...

Interview Details – Standard process, pretty drab actually for such a large company. Overall I wasn't impressed.

Interview Details – Applied online. Phone call in two days, scheduled interview. Interviewed 2 diffiernet times with 2 different people. Waited a week for a call to offer job.
