"Centex was a great company to work for."

What do you like about working at Centex?

"Everyone was wonderful, the company had great leadership, training and benefits. Stressful work and not as creative as I wanted. I am more of a creative, design, TV etc marketing person, this was 90% Business Development, and when I decided to leave, they completely supported me, allowing me time to interview with new companies while I transitioned my work to another person. Wish it was more of the work I wanted, as the company, benefits and everything else was WONDERFUL! I am still in contact with many of my co-workers who are still there more than 10 years later."
