I worked at Toll Brothers full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – When working with a Project Manager that was open to allowing you to be creative, supported your ideas it was a great placed to go to work. When I saw the potential for changes that I thought would sell, most Management remained open. I worked there when the lines went out the door and when you waited for the 3 might come in each week, so I experienced both sides of the track.

Cons – The pay scale for Toll Brothers does not match that of the other Builders in the area.

Advice to Senior Management – When I was laid off, I received a letter in the mail. It would be considerably more compassionate and professional to have the respect to speak to them personally. Especially an employee who devoted so much time to the success of the Community they helped start and was there from the beginning.

Pros – Good corporate training structure, if you are assigned to a good sales manager or two then you will be fine. Otherwise you will be given enough rope to hang yourself due to inexperience.

Cons – Major downsizing due to real estate market, lack of long term opportunities. Construction is totally male-dominated and resistant to sales input and requests unless you have a buddy-buddy relationship with the PMs.

Advice to Senior Management – Foster a better relationship between sales and construction.

I worked at Toll Brothers

Pros – The company spends a lot on marketing which makes sales easier to manage. They also have a good CRM to follow up with potential buyers.

Cons – They work their employees to the bone! Weekends are a must in sales and taking an occasional Saturday off is highly frowned upon.

Advice to Senior Management – Provide more sales incentives for sales staff & build morale.

I worked at Toll Brothers

Pros – Public company; leader in its industry.

Cons – Very toxic work environment. Senior management takes joy in humilating associates. Yelling is a common form of communicating. Bonuses are delayed and "held" over your head, commonly referred in the company as "handcuffs" to keep people around.

Advice to Senior Management – Kindness and humility go a long way. Basically remember the "Golden Rule"; the real one, not the one that is driven by money. People need to be treated decently. It could be an awesome company; it has a great reputation in the public. People would love to be proud of working there; you could truly be better.

I have been working at Toll Brothers

Pros – Great product, strong cash position in the market.

Cons – As Bob Toll gets closer to retirement and Zvi controls more of the company it is becoming more of your typical backstabbing, vindictive corporate culture.

Advice to Senior Management – Replace Zvi he is not Bob Toll and never will be.

Pros – Great experience in learning the commercial real estate market in a large scale environment. People are more than helpful in answering any and all questions you may have.

Cons – They will keep you more than busy. Even though the job can be quite enjoyable you will be asked to do much beyond your job description. Be prepared to work, and work hard. Not a negative!

Advice to Senior Management – I think management does a great job of running Toll Brothers. They will expose you to a number of experiences just a short time in.

I worked at Toll Brothers

Pros – Great salary and benefit package. They do every thing possible to try and show a high degree of professionalism aside for taking care of their professions.

Cons – Great salary and benefit package. They do every thing possible to try and show a high degree of professionalism aside for taking care of their professions. Very Cliquish environment. Its the only job I ever worked that despite high metrics your ascension is decided by how well the superiors like you personally.

Advice to Senior Management – Grow up. Start promoting based on metrics and merit. It is one of the few home building companies where the builder of your home could not lead, manage nor has a Idea of how you domicile is to be put together. Their success has been based on great construction managers not project managers. However, in this tough environment that have taken to remove the post of construction manager and outsource that position. The quality of a toll home has started to deteriorate at a tremendous rate.

I worked at Toll Brothers

Pros – Overall great training and great co-workers. Overall it was a great job and I was able to gain experience in many different facets of the industry. I feel the experience and knowledge gained outweighs the negatives.

Cons – Long work hours. Little room for growth as the senior managers have been with the company forever and there are just not many senior positions. Monday evening meetings can last until well after 11pm AFTER working all day....complete waste of time and disregard for personal time. Project Managers WITH FAMILIES beware!! Be prepared to work long hours and many weekends at your families expense....no work/life balance.

Advice to Senior Management – Get introduced to the 21st century. Old technology has been replaced many times and will drastically improve company efficiency and performance. WAY WAY too much paperwork needed. NO MORE MONDAY NIGHT MEETINGS!!!! COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME!!!
