"Well-paid role with efficient systems, but poor staff retention and declining morale."The good thingsCoral Homes offered competitive weekly pay plus super, which was a standout compared to other companies in the industry. The location was convenient, and using Revit made the drafting process faster and more efficient. Overall, the work was structured and provided solid exposure to residential drafting workflows.
The challengesParking was a consistent frustration — with only around 80 spots for over 100 staff, many had to move their cars every two hours due to limited street options. Lunch breaks were restricted to just 30 minutes. Toward the end of my time, there was a noticeable rise in staff turnover and a lack of transparency from management. There appeared to be little to no commitment to retaining existing or past staff — after I left, half (if not all) of my team also resigned, which reflected a deeper morale and leadership issue.
