Vantaggi
Good benefits. You can get promoted of you're in the right "clique".
Svantaggi
Lack of support from management; we are seen as replaceable parts out in the field. We have lost many of our personnel as a result - they were not let go, they just quit. These are the same people who helped guide us through the past few difficult years, and they were treated with no respect. Meritage then hires college grads (cheaper salaries) instead of experienced constuction personnel. Construction personnel build homes in more than one community, handle all homeowner meetings, handle warranty tickets in multiple neighborhoods, have the responsibility of getting good surveys, and whatever special projects come our way. The work is piled on, and there is no compensation for it. Oh, and we're EXPECTED to go home and finish our work on the computer every night when needed. No - I have a family. Our culture is absolutely horrible.
