From Gold Standard to Corporate Ghost: A Great Employer's Fast Decline. - Community Sales Manager Taylor Morrison Employee Review

Pros The flexibility is a nice benefit. Cons Overstaffed communities: The company over-saturates its communities with sales managers. The result is intense competition, longer sales cycles, and a reduced chance of closing a sale. The "flexibility" comes at the direct cost of your earning potential. "Free labor" compensation model: The company views community sales managers as free labor, paying only for closed homes. The zero-advance commission model adds to the financial instability and pressure. Company focus on profit, not growth: There is a strong reluctance to enter new, master-planned communities, which would increase opportunity. Instead, the company focuses on cutting commission percentages to increase profits and salaried employees, who still receive annual raises. Confusing commission structure: The commission plan is overly complex and difficult to understand. High turnover: The turnover rate for community sales managers is alarmingly high. New hires leave quickly: Many new hires leave within a few months of joining once they realize how much better compensation is at other home builders.
