Pros – Love helping others discover their ability to purchase a new home- great company that supports & embraces it values of integrity everyday throughout every department. I feel like I am part of a wonderful sales team! Great earnings potential!

Cons – Monthly draw that is paid back before any commissions earned every month.It takes up to a year to build backlog before any commissions earned.Sales cycle to receive compensation is too long; must be able to establish a long relationship and deal with many issues that arise during build. Some issues are out of your hands, but until buyer closes on his home, there isn't any commission.

Advice to Senior Management – Create a format where payment can be received sooner during the month to help with overall employee morale..other than that.. great management!

Current Employee – been working at KB Home

Pros – Benefit package was very good.

Cons – Scripted sales routine. You were secretly video taped to make sure you followed the script, Didn't allow for any personalization. Always felt big brother was watching. Had to be a dressed up robot. Many of our sales managers never sold a house or had a RE license. Promotions were given to favoritism. No wonder this was one of the first offices to close.

Advice to Senior Management – There wasn't any while I was there. Everyone was jumping ship.
