Had a great boss/builder, but Mcbride's policies (Or lack thereof) for laborers is unreal.  No PPE for inhaling concrete dust/metal particulates in basements.  Propane dolly would be nice instead of the neck and back problems I will probably have for the rest of my life hauling 10 - 15 180 lb propane tanks a week into houses with uneven, un-poured driveways.  Seriously, get your people a propane dolly at every site so your laborer's bodies aren't fried in 3 years!  Get some proper ventilation for the basement cleanouts!  Every laborer there is never reviewed for a raise and I can pull 6 of them out of my hat without hardly even thinking hard (I think one remains at McBride at this time).  It does explain the high turnover rate.  I spent 3+ years before seeing a penny.  And I worked very hard, and doing much more than standard laboring! 
 If you have any construction knowledge they will use that and have you fixing drywall, plumbing, even electrical issues, and everything else that are other trades jobs.  It literally gets so hectic and frantic when they are busy it can ramp up the anxiety and hard feelings easily, but no matter!  KEEP GOING! They really need to rethink the way the laborers are treated here.  Because as of a couple of weeks ago, they weren't thinking of us at all, and they still aren't.  So after 3+ years, I had to leave. Other companies out there treat you like a human and not a number.  And I won't even get into the way they treat their superintendents and some builders even.  I know when the Father ran things it was a much better place to work, as the stories go.   

I am a new home sales consultant for McBride Homes.  I work out of a new display home in one of our beautiful communities.  I get to meet and greet potential clients, and help them to design their dream home!!  McBride Homes gives me all of the tools I need to accomplish an amazing experience for our buyers, and my quality of life is amazing!
When I started with the company, I was coming from a different industry all together, they trained me on their process, which is time tested, and works!

Management is always there and available to assist where needed!

The most enjoyable part of my job is helping people to find the home that fits their families needs!  McBride Homes has a great ability to find and offer homes in the best locations at incredible values, knowing that as a team member, I am armed with the confidence needed that I will be helping people to make their dreams come true!

Incredible company to work for! No day is exactly the same. McBride encourages employees to always be growing and gaining knowledge.  This allows for ultimately an unlimited amount of possibilities for personal and professional development. You get out of a job what you put into it. So if you choose to work hard, stay humble, and are willing to help when needed, you will definitely be rewarded! 
The McBride culture is full of encouragement, positivity, and generosity. Coworkers truly do become your “McBride Family”.
McBride provides a generous contribution to health, dental, and life insurance plans, as well as 401K contributions! Fair amount of vacation days and personal time too.

The devastating covid-19 pandemic has been a challenging time for businesses, employees, and lifestyles.. But McBride has been incredibly generous in providing employees with support, gifts, and motivation to help overcome obstacles and keep moving forward! I feel extremely lucky to work for such a great company, especially during times like these!!

The hours are reasonable. As an assistant/floater you're able to pick & choose a lot of your hours. Which has always been a great bonus working here! You don't always have to stay in the same location if you're a floater so you have the chance to opt for some different scenery if a Sales Manager is needing a floater to fill in for a day or 2. You sit in an actual model home all day long so working in a comfortable condition is always a perk! There's not a problem of having to stand on your feet for the entire 8 hours each work day. All though some days do get quite busy & you're doing a lot of communicating with a lot of different customers which can get quite exhausting at times. Almost 100% of co-workers are for the most part friendly, easy to get along with. The managers or bosses are understanding & I've always felt that I was able to voice my opinion or any concern I've ever had. The Human Resources Department is excellent as well!

Extremely poor work life balance, you are expected to attend to things on your days off and if you don’t you are told about it.  “Sales manager” has no sales experience and so lacks ability to provide coaching and will be highly critical of your job performance while not really knowing what it takes to close a deal, overcome objections etc.  Somewhat  toxic work environment, very “cliquey”, there’s the in group and the out group and not much in between.  If you’re in the out group you’re left to sink or swim on your own.  Extremely high turnover, they should probably install a revolving door.  Do yourself a favor and keep looking unless you’re desperate.

Looking back now that I work for a company that has quality products and treats employees like family, I cannot believe I stayed as long as I did.  There is no trust in management.  They will screw you over without blinking an eye!!!  You work long hours and EVERY weekend, including Easter Day, Mothers Day and Fathers Day.  AND when you do ask off for a vacation, you have to cover your display home AND pay an assistant to do so.  You really have NO vacation!  Once someone leaves,  current employees are NO ALLOWED to have any contact with them.  It is the worst work environment.  Toxic Toxic Toxic!!!!!!!!

They bill themselves as being the biggest home builder in STL.  This gives you some sense of security, which ended up being completely wrong. The turnover rate is dismal. An internet search will show a high rate of customer dissatisfaction as well.  This is because they are cutting costs everywhere, including employees benefits and salary.

If you are fresh from school and don't care or need benefits, and have low expectations, this may be a good first job.  Otherwise you will not be happy working here, and you will not be there long.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great group of people that work together. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Keeping the buyers happy when delays happen

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Lots of responsibilities but lots of fun times

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Keeping the community models fresh and ready. Following up with potential buyers and clients under contract

Collaborative, empowering, performance-based, generous, customer-focused, results-oriented,  generously pay 90% of health insurance premiums for employees, 50% for family members, welcoming to all, non-judgemental.  The best part is working with smart, successful, motivated people across all levels, The CEO trusts everyone and shares information for us to succeed and do our jobs better.  Open to new ways of doing things, change, to improve the Company.

Absolute poorest project managers in the industry. A lot of favoritism in the work place. Placing the worst community managers( least amount of sales abilities) in the absolute best communities where lack of talent didn’t matter because those communities could sell itself. An enormous amount turnover. Entire org is toxic with the exception of a few.
