I enjoyed working for Richmond American Homes
Land Development Coordinator (Former Employee), Las Vegas, NV – April 22, 2013
I only worked for Richmond American Homes for a while as I was laid off during the building downturn. If I had the opportunity I would gladly return to work for RAH. I had great supervisors and I like the atmosphere. Very family.

No job security they like to cycle through people every 3rd quarter.
Corporate Office (Former Employee), Denver, CO – February 27, 2013
Lack of direction, no support, they lay off frequently. Mostly bring people in then replace you with lower paying people.

No sense of loyalty to employees who want to succeed.

All decisions have to go to the top and managers/controllers have very little decision ability.

Pros: unlimited income potential

Worked in several Sub-Divisions while employeed at Richmond American Homes.
I had a mixed experience while there
. My partner was great. The company however seemed to be in a state of transition.
I was dealing with some personal issues as well.
I left after about a year to deal with my personal issues.

Productive
Accounts Payable Specialist (Former Employee), Phoenix,AZ – December 3, 2012
Pros: co-workers
Cons: micro management
Busy but managable
Mangament was not the greatest nothing was good enough for her even when work was completed on timely manner and accurate.
Co-workers were great and felt the same as me.
Hardest part that the utility bills were sitting on Management office for 3 weeks and service were disconnected for the models homes.

A leader in the homebuilding industry
Regional Recruiter - Desert Region (Former Employee), Las Vegas, NV – November 9, 2012
Pros: good benefits, a great team environment.
Cons: the cycle of homebuilding
Careful cost control and resisting the temptation to overbuy land are trademarks of this cautious but aggresive builder.
Seasoned , intelligent senior leadership that has a heart and takes the time to connect with employees.

California Division
Senior Project Manager (Current Employee), Irvine, CA – August 27, 2012
California Division staff are a very good and collaborative team. The company is very conservative regarding land acquisitions and staffing which is a credit to their short term success over the past 4-5 years.

Jacksonville division is a mess!
Sales (Former Employee), Jacksonville – August 19, 2012
Pros: none!
Cons: everything in the jax division!
The Jax division is an absolute mess! They have been through 4 sales directors in 3 years. The Jax Sales Division is often referred to as the "Titanic" because the ship is sinking and everyone keeps jumping off. They do not care about their employees - a horrible place to work!

Nervous – October 16, 2012

Honestly...ask yourself what the alternative is. How bad could it have been?

– October 27, 2012

The company has a revolving door policy. Over 200% turnover in the sales force last year, no one stays because there is no leadership, and the home office thinks new managers every few months will fix the problem. Very poor reputation not only in Jacksonville, but around the Country.

sorry company due to upper mgrs
Complete all customer service work and sign offs (Current Employee), columbia md – June 2, 2012
company does not value employe, only the cheapest cost. they let the top people go ,and then re-hire at a smaller salery,in some cases the new-hire had no experience as a superintdent. You are under the target every day ,to possible job loss . the top mgrs at the md division have not paid their dues in the bussiness,but some how MDC Holdings love the – more... fact that they are good at threats,and keeping others scared of possible job loss . The quality is useing the cheapest products .and cheapest contrators with the supers running 2-3 jobs.miles from each other and no gas allowence. This is the same thing done by all big builders. – less
