Ryan Homes – “Overall, a great company”

Pros

great training program and good support from managers, best large builder in the industry with very deep market penetration. did i say great training? the people who have made it through are very capable, so you are not working with anyone who doesn't pull their own weight

Cons

information concerning your situation is not quickly communicated to the field, nearly no opportunity for advancement currently; management can be unrealistic about pricing and volume; you get a very limited scope of responsibility and are not encouraged to think outside that box and take on additional responsibility, the common phrase here is "don't reinvent the wheel"

Advice to Senior Management

let the company be managed from the bottom up -- listen to the field employees
