Perry Homes

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best parts of working at the company are the competitive pay and the flexibility of remote work options. These aspects significantly enhance job satisfaction and work-life balance.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The workload can be quite demanding at times, but the competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package make these challenges worthwhile.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There is a noticeable sense of value and respect among the team members. The workplace is charged with positive energy, fostering a culture of ownership and accountability. This is clearly reflected in the high quality of work and consistently positive outcomes.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day at Perry Homes begins with checking in on any overnight updates or urgent issues from our third-party Security Operations Center. As part of the Infrastructure Team, I prioritize responding to these alerts promptly to maintain our network's integrity and security. I then review our system's performance through Microsoft Defender XDR to ensure everything runs smoothly.

I often collaborate with my team to discuss ongoing projects and upcoming tasks. This might involve planning for infrastructure upgrades or strategizing on how to improve our IT processes. Post-lunch, I dedicate time to managing and configuring our systems through Microsoft Intune and ensuring that our security policies are up-to-date and effectively protecting our assets.

I also spend part of my day interacting with other departments to assist them with their technical needs and ensure they understand the IT resources available. My day usually wraps up with documenting the work done and any significant changes made, setting the stage for the next day's activities.

Perry Homes have Division Presidents who have the final say on everything. They seemingly don't have any accountability to anyone. There is no clear chain of command at Perry and employees dare not speak out when it comes to grievances for fear of losing their jobs. 

The Division Presidents (only white males) do not have a sales background, yet they are given complete authority over all sales professionals. The company culture seems fine on the surface but once you get beneath it you start to see this company for how ugly it is.They consistently play what I call the "gotcha" game. Secret shoppers, Division Presidents who just show up at the model homes at random, they have what they call "Sales Managers" but in reality they are paid snitches, the Division Presidents goad the host and hostesses for information and they pit sales persons against one another to drive more sales which typically creates hostility among sales professionals.I could go on and on and on...

The only positive thing that I can say about Perry Homes is that if you can sell homes the money is great...of course in this market it's great with all of the major builders but Perry gives you 40% of your commission upon contract and the other 60% at the close which helps cash flow. Other companies pay 100% at closing.

If you're willing to sellout for the money go for it because that the ONLY reason the vast majority of Sales Professionals stay with Perry. But remember money isn't everything. Health and peace of mind is everything!

P.S.All you Realtors out there don't let them fool you. Their homes are not superior to other builders in the same class...they all use the same workers and basically the same materials. It's just that they believe that if they repeat a lie long enough you will eventually believe it...hence all the free lunches.

Although I was excited to begin working at Perry Homes, my experience has been disappointing and stressful. I started off already feeling behind, and unfortunately the training process was not very effective or supportive for new employees trying to learn the role properly.
I was originally hired by a manager who has since transferred to another section, and since then the work environment has changed significantly. I am now dealing with a supervisor who is often disrespectful, unapproachable, and only seems to acknowledge employees when they are making sales. Simple professional courtesies, such as greetings or respectful communication, are often missing.
There is constant micromanagement, including checking to see if employees are at work on time, calling employees into the office unexpectedly outside of normal circumstances, and criticizing employees even when they are doing what is required. It creates an environment where it feels like nothing is ever enough.

What makes the situation more difficult is the inconsistency in treatment. Certain employees appear to be treated differently, while others are singled out or constantly pressured. The overall atmosphere feels toxic, stressful, and at times almost militant. Employees are left feeling anxious because they never know what kind of interaction or criticism to expect.
I truly wanted this opportunity to work out and was excited about building a career here, but the lack of support, poor management behavior, and unhealthy work culture have made the experience extremely challenging.

A typical day at work for me at Perry Homes would be walking through each home under construction first thing each morning. I would make my morning phone calls to schedule more construction or follow up on an item. I controlled all phases of construction so I made phone calls throughout the day. I learned to plan ahead and followup to make sure work was being completed correctly. I learned how to build rapport with customers/homeowners. I learned how to listen before taking action. Management required a lot in respect to build times, quality, homeowner satisfaction, and cost. Getting the job done right the first time was my focus alone with management. My Co-workers were good guys to work with. We discussed all issues surrounding work good or bad. We bounced ideas off of each other and communicated often. Being open with each other and communicating the way we did helped to foster a great working relationship.The hardest part of the job was material supply and delivery. Sometimes things would get back ordered or delayed for some reason. When material delays came it could slow down the construction. When those things happened I had to figure out what could still be done without holding up everything. I learned to solve problems and put out fires. The most enjoyable part of my job was the satisfaction that a family was about to make a home out of the house I built. There is a special reward returning to one's work and knowing people live in it and enjoy it.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The team that I worked with everyday was great. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The lack of respect. Whatever your position was, that’s how they treated you. The environment is very toxic whenever upper management came around to visit us on site. It was very obvious that they had favorites, and if you weren’t one of their favorites, and you were seeking promotion, they would gaslight you to make you feel like you are next in line for promotion. For example, I know someone who was there for two years and never got promoted, but was told that they were ready for a promotion. There were two guys who had been there for the same amount of time and they got promoted twice in their work wasn’t as good as the other guys work it was there for the same period time  seems like the playing field was not everybody.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
On a local level, the environment was good . The teams I worked on very supportive with the exception of the third team that I worked on.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Unnecessary pressure. It was a very toxic environment, especially when upper management came around because they always had unrealistic expectations and they projected those expectations on us. It seem like there was a disconnect from upper management to the reality of what was going on in the field.

I've been in the industry for a while and understand how most builders navigate with their structure. I believe Perry Homes is one of the better builders I've come across, as far as work culture. If you keep your head down, do what you get paid to and work hard, you should be compensated fairly. There's a few "bad apple" neighborhoods that seem to have a more difficult time selling, but overall the land department works diligently to ensure Perry builds in the best neighborhoods. If you're in sales, you'll work until 7pm in the winter, which a good portion of other builders don't do, because it's so dark during that time of the year at that hour. That would be one of the stronger negatives in my opinion, because those hours add up and take away from time with your families. Selling against a partner is also extremely difficult, because management pushes you to work as a team, but it's a competitive, hostile environment, so they can't expect anything out of you other than mortal enemies (not literally). 
I personally haven't felt myself catch a wondering eye during my time with Perry Homes and stand behind what they believe for the most part. I would recommend Perry Home for sales roles specifically, but suggest doing your research on the areas you may be hired for prior to accepting the position.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The support that is given at every position. The structure the company has and shows you the importance of having that in all the processes when building and managing projects. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
As a project manager the most stressful part was that they trust you to start a community and it’s your responsibility to keep the overall community in budget and being profitable through the entire time you are managing all aspects. So being successful like I was can have it’s stressful time to perform at that level 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is definitely pleasant to be part of the team and culture for this company.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Well using your communication skills is definitely used everyday. From communicating to all the trades and my construction managers making sure everyone understands what their job is for every given day and to help move every project along to be done under budget and under the time allocated.

I worked for this Company for several years! The only happy employees there are upper management! They are cheap as far as pay, they have so many strict rules it's next to impossible to remember them all. It is clearly a " Good Old Boy Mentality"! My experience with Management is clear they need to take classes on people skills, and how to manage! They have attorneys running Departments, that clearly have no skills to manage people! 
The mentality there is let the good employees pull the work load, and those that are noticeably slackers keep on doing little, and getting paid! If you try to report a problem you are told to keep it to yourself! 
It's like taking three steps back compared to other Title Companies and evolvement! This company is old school, funny about dress code, and everything is hush, hush! Most hourly employes are fearful to report anything! 
My review is based on years of working there not months! I finally left because I couldn't tolerate anymore. I have never given a review for a past employer, but I felt moved to give my feedback here! Job Seeker beware here!

This company is completely unorganized, lacks great training, and does not promote AT ALL from the sales office. If you are looking to apply/interview with this company please take my advice - go into this with eyes wide open. You can make great money without question, but there is absolutely NO work/life balance. Your supervisors, realtors, buyers, etc. have access to you 24/7 and do not care about your personal time. Most of the Division Presidents are promoted from construction and will not be very helpful especially if you are new to the business. There are plenty of tongue lashings from all parties mentioned so make sure you have really thick skin as well. Do your best to get along with your partner because that can be a horrible downfall as well. Again you can make more money than you have ever imagined in your life and that's the awesome part, I just wish I knew when I started here that all of that money comes at a steep price. You were warned! :)

If you enjoy working in an environment where your team is terrified to speak up and office politics run rampant, Perry Homes is the company for you. From my perspective, the atmosphere often felt toxic; communication was discouraged, concerns went unanswered, and decisions seemed driven more by internal alliances and nepotism rather than actual performance. In-office employees were frequently resentful toward remote staff, which only added to the tension and unhealthy culture. On top of that, there was a persistent sense of fear because the company is quick to fire people with little or no warning, creating an atmosphere where everyone was on edge. Looking back, the environment was so draining and unstable that it overshadowed any positives the job might have offered.
