Pros

You can make good money

Cons

Working at D.R. Horton was a challenging experience. The company heavily focuses on micromanaging, which can make it difficult to feel trusted in your role. While they promote a team-oriented environment, the reality is that support is often reserved for an inner circle, leaving others to navigate challenges on their own. Employee experience and expertise are not always valued—what matters most is sales numbers. If you’re consistently closing deals, you’re seen as a good worker; if not, you may find yourself overlooked, regardless of your effort or experience. Constructive feedback and professional growth opportunities are limited unless you are in the right circles. For those who thrive in a high-pressure, sales-driven environment and can handle the politics, there may be opportunities for success. However, if you're looking for a company that values employees beyond just their sales performance, this may not be the best fit.

Pros

You get paid well. The more you care, the better the reputation you will create and the better the clients will be.

Cons

Depending on community you get it can be more of a grind and take some time to get it running the way it needs to be. The drive to a community may be far from your house.

Pros

Cannot name any pros. There are good qualities for certain not all bad here but must be a well embedded figure in the real estate industry here in central VA. OR you must know managment personally... The HSA ia nice for certain but thats it

Cons

I strongly caution potential employees about this company due to significant issues with management and pay structure: - Employees are classified as W2 in Virginia but receive no base pay, meaning all income relies on lead generation. This creates immense pressure without guaranteed compensation and this also includes your insurance. if you have no pending commissions the corp office will call and ask you to pay for your insurance so be careful to even enroll.. - The requirement to be present in the model from 10 AM to 6 PM without pay is a burden, especially since leads are not provided, forcing employees to perform outreach without compensation. Which would be okay if they had traffic or plan to create traffic but its all on you 100% no excuses or exceptions unless you are good with management which is not based on preformace like management claims. - Management is inconsistent and often unresponsive, leading to frustration. There is a clear lack of loyalty even towards upper management, with many feeling unsupported and undervalued. - Favoritism is prevalent, with senior representatives enjoying privileges that are not extended to others. This creates an unfair environment where performance standards seem to apply selectively. - The overall morale is undermined by poor management practices, with managers openly complaining about the director of sales while providing contradictory statements regarding rules and expectations depending on who you are OR who you know If you are a good sales rep, don’t waste your time here. Seek opportunities where your talents will be recognized and rewarded.
