Brookfield Residential

Working there was really fun and they allowed me to customize my own schedule. I worked there as a part-timer during college, and it was a great job that introduced me to some awesome people I'm still in contact with. My manager was always great and inclusive and met with me monthly to have conversations about how to better the community I worked at, even though I was only part-time, which made me feel like an asset to the team. Only negative I have to say is that when a full time employee asked me to do things that weren't my job and I had no training for, he screamed at me in front of management. Rather than have a serious HR talk with him, they decided to try to appease him by switching my schedule so he and I never worked at the same time. Not a bad company, but make sure not to anger the more valued employees.

I have been with Brookfield for almost 2 years now. At first, I was skeptical about this job but now I'm a believer in our cause. Like any job, it's what you make of it.

I've been fortunate enough to come in to an awesome community and hit the ground running. I help a lot of people. I built a lot of relationships with my teammate's and with home buyer's that last beyond them moving into their new home. I'm fortunate to be part of an award winning team and management is giving me the tools to further my development. 

It's a work hard, play hard environment. It's not for people who are looking for an easy check. We put in a lot of hours. We are also big on family so there is a lot of paid time off when we want it. Also, the health coverage is great. Be bold and take you development in your hands.

Very collaborative teamwork, new and different floor plans & designs, a product to be proud of. As with any major new rollout, there are always improvements to seek. Brookfield seemed to have a culture where all are encouraged to participate in making the process better. I would have gladly stayed on board, but 2017 was a tough financial year for the Austin division... and I was among several employees from various departments & locations laid off. I wish them well.

I worked for Brookfield for nearly 2 years and DID NOT want to leave. I could not open my store and be successful at Real Estate at the same time. The management team was amazing, the support from the construction team, architects, HR and field training was the best I have ever seen. This is not the place for you if you are happy with mediocrity because the training is intense and is designed to make you the best in this industry.

Doing 10% construction related tasks and 90% managing tasks that should have been handled by other departments. Should be as simple as managing the building of homes and the tasks associated. Instead, you do things that should have been completed or overseen by other department managers 

There are good and bad in every company I would imagine. Poor management in any company will ruin a business. When you goal is to hire people who are young vs hiring good highly skilled charismatic managers to grow a team who will respect  and work hard for them. When you promote people who make mistakes vs firing them. It's a good old boy shop pretty much full of nepotism.

Great, great, great place to work. I started my career there as an assistant construction manager. Leadership was great all the way up to the VP's. Large companies like this can sometimes lose their employees but not at Brookfield. you always have the support you need. Unfortunately, a major move took me away from the company but if they come local to me, I will be rejoining the team!

Many positives about the company but large holes in communication and support in some areas.  My situation may have been unique, however, management was not available or supportive the majority of the time.  

The Austin office started with great promise, but management changes created a very poor work environment which led to even worse results in profitability.  New management is very ego driven and unable to make good hiring decisions.  Only want people "yes men" and people who do not challenge or question any decisions or strategies.

I had an excellent experience with excellent benefits and excellent pay. This was my favorite job in my career. I was proud of the product we produced and I was encouraged to use my skills and expand my responsibilities. The president was focused on quality and not overly focused on budget. It was refreshing. I miss the company and working there.
