Wayne Homes Reviews

The list of cons looking back is so long, that I am not sure I can get it all in here. High turnover rate at all WH locations. The company gives you a line of BS about having integrity and how they are "invested" in the employees, but when push comes to shove, if you bring an ethical issue forward, it is either ignored, or you are left to deal with it on your own. I personally was let go because I got into an argument with my superior about stealing from the company. She then made up lies about me being insubordinate, and hence I got fired without anyone ever looking into the whole situation. I had worked hard for this company and bought into their lies in regard to caring about their employees and having integrity. I tried to do the right thing, and no one even bothered to hear my side of the story - they just fired me without cause. Some of you reading this may think that there has got to be more to the story but their isn't. I was never written up, and was actually given an award for my work only 5 months prior. Also had good reviews at all employee assessments. Upper Management has no clue who is actually working hard for their company at satellite offices. They actually have a review at each end of year asking if you have a "friend" that you can go to in the company. HA! I was left out on an island with a deceptive, manipulative boss, and no one to go to. When you go to work for them, they will try to make you drink the kool aid, but don't believe it. You are on your own.

This company possess a culture that looks good on the surface and how they publicly present themselves in a positive light but is terrible to work for. I would take their Northcoast 99 awards with a grain of salt. As an employee, I even completed the Northcoast 99 survey and a lot of the questions did not allow me to address the workplace issues that I had and many of the Glassdoor reviewers have stated in their reviews as well. This organization puts on a front, a collective smile and sells their culture hard, but in the end does not deliver. They claim to give you proper training and the time to succeed but their management practices are so out of whack that is makes it not conducive to do so. Reviews are not given on time to help keep you on the right track. They have fired top producers as well. And if you leave or are terminated, they will cheat you out of your commissions and bonuses as well per the one-sided “contract” they make you sign as a condition of employment. In my time at the organization I have never seen so much turnover in Sales, Sales Management, Field Managers & other departments as I have at this one. Given this, my review is not just about my experience at this company but of many others, other reviews will confirm this. Management positions are given to those who have no experience or knowledge of the profession but on perceived “skill sets”. One reviewer indicated that racism is abound in the industry, it is at this company especially, I can count on one hand the number of minority employees of the near 200 that are employed here. Also sexism is abound here as well, most men here are treated as buffoons much like the media portrays them on television. Another flaw of this organization is that it is very top-heavy in management. There are less than 30 people company-wide in a sales capacity with 13 people managing them from VPs to sales managers. And they yield only a single-digit increase in annual revenue and constant turnover? That is definitely a lack of ROI from management. I would avoid Wayne Homes and better invest my time, energy & well-being advancing my career with another company. This organization is simply too unstable to hang your hat and to try to be the best you can be.
