3.8I have worked at kb home for over a year now. I work in the Orlando division. Every sales counselor is expected to work every single weekend, and we have three holidays a year. You usually get two weekdays off, sometimes clients will want to meet on your days off. Management can put you in any community at any time. I’ve been driving an hour for a year, even though there are communities closer to me. There is only one manager currently, he’s pretty bad. He’s rude, and often wrong, he does not admit mistakes, if it’s coming down to a sale, it’s best to get the VP involved. He told me Incorrect information three times that almost killed deals. Luckily I talked with the VP and found he was wrong. The VP and president are great. The people are great and talented, I’ve had excellent sales partners. I pay about 98 a check for all my benefits and picked all the highest packages.
The benefits are good I think. But I still pay about 100 out of pocket for a physical or exam. I went to the emergency room once and had to pay 442 out of pocket after insurance. It’s good for surgeries and having a baby. My max out of pocket is 350.00 (that apparently didn’t apply for my emergency room) anywho here’s the current compensation:
36k /year Draw (first 3 months forgiven)
50/month phone reimbursement
1.5% of each deal for first two deals written a month or 4k , whichever is greater
1.75% of each deal written after first 2. Or 4500 , whichever is greater.
If you write 4 deals in a month , the last two get the higher pay
You get paid after the home closes , nothing before
If you don’t sell inventory , you will owe 9K by the time your fist home closes, maybe 12k.
Usually your first commission check is 0 as you pay back draw
It takes about a year to ramp up.
If you don’t sell at least 4 your first quarter, just quit and try again later. You’ll be in the hole a long time and it’s hard to get out.
2.2There was way too much emphasis on how things looked. It didn't matter if it it made sense or not, just maintain the status quo and llok like you're doing it right. The culture of do and say what we want to hear and when that doesn't work, we'll fix it on the back end. And, BTW, it was your fault to begin with. Slow down a bit, get your ducks in a row, and do it right the first time. Then when the business side gets going, you're ready.
4.5I have worked for KB Home for 12 Years, in three different divisions.
I have reported directly to Division Presidents, and I found this company fulfilling to work for, and I believe that they have great moral values, with respect to their employees. For me it was a very supportive and nurturing company to work with.
