Pulte Homes Reviews

Pros

Good benefits, organized, fair management, overall a good working environment. Good reputation in home building industry. Working conditions very nice.

Cons

Due to the economy there is very little opportunity for advancement. Conditions are a little tense around the office as no one has job security.

Advice to Senior Management

Even though the industry is suffering I think they could find creative ways to reward dedicated employees to keep moral up.

Pros

great money at young age

Cons

sales relationship competition because in the sales office you are essentially taking money away from your co-worker when you sell a home and close a deal so some people could become ruthless in that kind of environment

Advice to Senior Management

make changes to sales relationship competition because in the sales office you are essentially taking money away from your co-worker when you sell a home and close a deal so some people could become ruthless in that kind of environment

Pros

Very relaxed atmosphere. People are professional. Creative environment. Can't say anything bad about the company, wish I was still working there.

Cons

As any corporation time that takes to execute ideas is very lenghty and they are missing the curve more often than not.

Pros

Friendly people, they provide lunch four days a week and bagels or donuts on Fridays. They usually shut the office down early the Friday before a hoilday weekend.

Cons

They promote a flex schedule but don't allow it. If you ask for flex schedule you have an attendance issue and are not considered for promotions.

Advice to Senior Management

It depends on what level you are looking at. I have complete confidence in top management such as the CEO but I don't think some of the directors are following the same culture as Mr. Pulte had intended.

Pros

Pulte empowers its employees to be leaders within their given disipline, be it construction, sales, customer service, etc.

Cons

The industry goes through its cycles and when the economy is slow housing usually is slow as well.

Pros

THere have been alot of people that have been good for the organization.

Cons

Ever since Pulte took over it has seemed to go in the waste basket.

Pros

The Nations top homebuilder with communities in multiple states. When things were good in homebuilding it seemed like things were good at work. Employee Perks, Trips, Fun times

Cons

Once the economy took a turn it seemed like evryone was out for themselves. There were very few "kick backs", company outings, and praise to the employees doing the work.

Advice to Senior Management

Please do not forget about the people not in manangement positions that give a 110% day in and day out.

Pros

The salary and commissions were acceptable and the other Sales Consultants were friendly.

Cons

The management team was made up of the most deceitful, unfair group of people I have ever met!

Advice to Senior Management

Take a moment and reflect what it would be like to walk in your employee's shoes. What comes around goes around and one day I hope you get what you deserve.

Pros

Very nice people in the land department.

Cons

Upper management was incompetent. Head of sales was pretty full of himself.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep even lower level management informed so when making hiring decisions, no one is surprised with the possibility of layoffs.

Pros

Money is decent, benefits fair

Cons

Hiring inferior sales team that knows nothing sales management arrogant and play favorites for. No promo from within. They go outside to get people who don't know the market. Forced culture

Advice to Senior Management

Hire a good sales and general sales manager who know the market and have respect from community. Hire good sales team
