Cons

I haven't experienced any downside to working with the company that I can share.

Cons

Extended Closings
Chicago Market

Cons

Business uncertainty which contributes to the lack of advancement opportunities

Cons

Training needed for all departments to include cross training

Cons

Egomaniacal CEO who is completely out of touch with his employees. He treats them like absolute garbage and believe me, it doesn’t go unnoticed. I worked there full time for seven years and was forced to work 14-hour days alone at trade shows for a week at a time. The rest of the time was incredibly stressful with long hours, no support, horrible bosses...the list just goes on. We were required to travel frequently and would have to pay out of pocket for all our expenses (even hotels) and eventually - very eventually - we would be reimbursed. I would work as a waitress at the sleaziest dive bar in the world before I would work for Hovnanian again.

Cons

7 to 9 days straight work weeks. Marketing department that has absolutley no clue what they are doing. No room for growth. Extremely long hours. Never go to HR with complaints, the repercussions aren't worth it. Work life balance? There is no balance whatsoever. Archaic technology/systems in place. Very low pay.

Cons

Poor working conditions, poor management.

Cons

Stock is now a penny stock and soon to be delisted. Company let go of senior managers who were vocal about corporate continued mistakes setting up divisions to fail. For example, CEO forbids landing pages in 2018. Web traffic plummets!

Cons

Poor management, little to no training on product.

Cons

A sales position at K Hovnanian in the Orlando division - management does not treat sales associates fairly. Upper sales Management exhibits a culture which lacks professionalism. Leadership promote gossip and favoritism and lack the ability to remain objective due to personal Relationships with sales people. There was a lot of gossip among sales people and management. They would talk about salespeople to other sales people. You are placed in communities not due to your ability to sell homes but the level of friendship with upper management. Consequently turn over is very high in sales. Their is a lot of drama and politics involved a Sales position with K Hovnanian. Which is odd because there should be no place for that with good leadership. This is probably the reason they have so many sales positions available.
Employees leave companies because of management. Which is the reason 3 of their sales people have quit is the past 6 months. I am writing this review to hopefully help others avoid making a regrettable decision working here. You will work hard at selling homes and then have to walk away leaving commissions on the table because you can
no longer take going to work under such unprofessional leadership.
