Jayman Built

As many reviews have stated previously. Managers and executives expect you to stay late without compensation, once you stop doing that, they find a way to get rid of you. Apparently the not guaranteed end of year bonus is for all those days working late.. when it’s a very low percentage. It is expected that everything is to be completely perfect, with zero mistakes and will let you go for little to no reason at all. Some managers here are better than others, but at the end of the day, ownership and the board are very old school. They will never allow work from home or modernize the way they do things. Don’t mistake their generous “gift giving” for kindness. It’s all manipulation to make you work even harder for not very much reward. They prefer you to brown nose ownership, management and executives to get a promotion, they don’t value hard work like you would expect. 

I highly recommend Jayman Built. 
Jayman is known for their construction quality, energy efficiency and brand reputation. 
They train their staff well and there is always someone willing to help if you have a question - every department works together as a team to deliver the best customer experience possible. Jay Westman values integrity and family and these values are reflected in the rest of the organization. 

Be prepared to be pushed non stop to get results breaking your back and grinding you down. It's a place of work harder not smarter as management doesn't listen to there experienced staff on how things are going on the job and what needs work and improvent. If you speak up with a concern or idea be prepared to be hushed and bullied to stay silent.  To top it off instead bettering the work environment they like to hide the horrible work space and moral by dangling carrots in front of you and hosting little events. A quote that comes up in company meetings from management them selves is "drink the Jayman coolaid" 


For a career in new home sales, I would stay away from this "big name" builder. There is no freedom. You have to follow scripts, wear uniforms and do everything to lose your individuality and become a Jayman robot. You are restricted in every possible way by not being able to cross sell, cannot market yourself, restricting you to selling only one product type. Indirectly report to someone who hates sales people and is unfriendly in every way.
They have a good sales training program but that's where anything good about this company ends. No longer a "industry leader"

What is the best part of working at the company?
Leaving the company 
Wish I left sooner.






What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Knowing that you have to awake and spend all day in with the most knit picky humans known as customers. Because Jayman builds such bad houses.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's robotic 
Your a number. It's all about the all mighty dollar 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Constantly thinking of when I can quit or better get fired.

Jayman hired me as an entry level position, introducing me to the new home construction industry. I enjoyed working for them while I was there and did learn a lot. At the time new home construction was very busy and regular bonus cheques were awarded to their employees. They did extra training with PHBI courses such as Blueprint reading, Service excellence, Construction fundamentals etc..
Hardest part of the job, -some crazy customers.

Reward for good work was always more work. Management particularly in the field was non existent. It’s a free for all. HR will do nothing for you. Will not respond to inquiries. Anything to save 1$ but will spend foolishly on error after error. Refuse to keep good people and compensate fairly, yet will spend tens of thousands of dollars not training new employees. 

All of their top managers, site supervisors and assistants have all left in the last year. This should tell you what kind of company they are. The new construction manager has minimal construction knowledge. They tell you they will train you, enlist you in courses, promise on site support, IT support, but it never happens and you just grind away with false promises. 

Don't be fooled when management says this company is not political.....schmoozing is rewarded ahead of hard work and dedication. Superintendents turn a blind eye to dangerous situations in favour of meeting deadlines. 

Opportunity for training and development. I enjoyed most of my time however towards the end I was shifted around between multiple areas and managers downgrading each time. Depending on who you work under determines your responsibility and some area managers do not want you to do any selling, just greet and direct customers to them.
