Beautiful community, but lacks employee support and training

Sales director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Residents make it worth it. Beautiful community.

Cons

They don’t care about employees at all. There is a zero chance of being mentored or encouraged in your job or career growth. Executive leadership only cares about numbers and data. No real training. Very much a “figure it out” mentality.
