You will quickly find out the promises are empty, the upper management environment is extremely toxic. Professional gaslighting at its finest and purposely misleading upper management. Work life balance will not exist if you want any chance at success. Anything you say can and will be used against you when it is convenient, so beware if you ask any questions. No one will know the answer to any questions as deflection of responsibility is key to success here. No one will actually have an answer for this reason. Organization does not exist, recent software technology doesn't exist. If you are coming from a background with other builders, imagine the worst quality's of those builders, this is basically what you will walk into. The benefits are bottom of the barrel, if you are rather healthy, it is cheaper to pay out of pocket and still have money left over. The pay is decent and there are very real reasons for that. The old adage if it is too good to be true, it probably is applys. Read the fine print on reimbursements and allowances, if you make it to w2 time, do some math. If you do accept a job here, have your job description in writing. And last but not least and this is important, you have to play the real and fake corporate games here. What this means is, cover yourself 100% of the time, you will spend more time documenting to protect yourself than you think is worth until it is too late and you will wish you had.  You will want to do this, always. 

As permit coordinator I ordered blueprints, got paperwork ready for permitting, ordered checks required for permits, took all blueprints and documents to building department. I learned a lot working at Maronda Homes due to the person that was suppose to train me left sooner then expected I had to train myself as to what needed to be done to get all the permits that were needed. They management team was great they were there to answer any questions needed and helped when needed. Co-workers were also great everyone helped each other. The hardest part of my job was at first having to learn everything that was needed to do my job on my own. The most enjoyable part of my job was working with a great group of people and working with the building permit people who guided me on what what needed to do my job.

A typical day starts with unlocking houses that are being built and placing permits for any inspections that day.  Then while reviewing the production schedule, I contact all scheduled subcontractors and/or appointments I have for the day to ensure they are still on schedule.  I take calls ranging from subcontractor material/plan issues to warranty requests from home owners.  I have learned how to manage many different personalities of worker and client while keeping a common goal in mind.  I do not work closely with management or co-workers on a daily basis as I am typically on my own.  The hardest part of my job is dealing with certain home owners on warranty requests while following company policy.  My goal is to make home owner's happy, but achieving this and making my company happy at the same time.  The most enjoyable part of my job is I am constantly on the move and I get the flexibility of making my own schedule.

In this job there is really no chance for advancement. They mainly hire through temp agencies so there will be no raises or benefits for a large portion of the employees. The wages are very low and the work is very strenuous in the Florida heat since it is in a open warehouse. They in no way try to motivate employees and you never know if you have to work on your day off until your walking out the door for the weekend so you cant really have any plans for your home or social life. Although it is hard to get fired from this job as long as you show up and stay busy you will be employed. My coworkers had a sense of humor and where down to earth. there is a lot of teamwork and people will go out of their way to help you. the low level employees stick together and do what they can for each other.

A typical day was learning the ins and outs of New Home Construction.This is from buying the land, layouts of the new homes, pricing and building the new neighborhoods. I started in the Accounts Recieviable department and worked into Administrative Assistant to one of the two Managers in office. My co-workers and management were always friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make sure you always felt like you were part of the team. The business environment was fast paced and always busy. I enjoyed the get together and company picnics we had several times a year.

great sales training! training in how homes are designed and the overall sales process. sales persons seem to compete with each other but thats the nature of sales anyway. company goes out of their way to establish great relationships with local realtors and realty boards. this greatly helps a local sales person with brand identification. in house mortgage is a great idea and hope this will never go away ! wish the commission was better than 3% but...oh well

I loved working here, my job duties grew as the company grew within the housing market. I did Accounts Payable/Receptionist but was quickly transferred over to the subsidiary to assist with the Electrical/Plumbing/HVAC divisions and related inventory. After several years I was transferred back to Maronda's main Columbus division to assist with the Accounts Payable. As time went by I remained as the only AP clerk. It was a sad day when I was laid off due to the economic downturn in the home building arena.

I worked  in a model home in Florida.  The houses practically sold themselves because of the prices, which meant it that there would be a high volume of potential customers that would come in.  I learned a lot about home building and the process of buying a home from start to finish.  The hardest part of the job was limiting customizing of the house due to its pricing.  The most enjoyable part was seeing the customers with their keys to their new homes.

I had been working my whole life for a career such as this. I love buildin thing things and to watch a project develope from start to finish with total customer service was soo rewarding. Unfortunatley we all know what happen with the home industry and I was let go in round 4 of the layoffs.

I worked independently in a model home in the community where I was selling.  We attended weekly meetings here in Ocala with our area manager to discuss our week and receive helpful information and sometimes would have guest speakers address us on various topics.  All employees were very amicable in the company, which created a family culture.  I enjoyed all aspects of my job.
