Pros

Schedule is somewhat flexible, good benefits package and commission. Company is buying communities so you will have a product to sell for some time to come.

Cons

May vary by region or city but they are going about acquiring communities in reverse. They buy the land then set a price for the community based on a profit margin despite what homes in the area are selling for. Lack of creative thoughts or ideas and being profitable is more important than anything. Yet if the model looks bad you'll scramble to fix it and waste money at the last minute. It all comes down to the community you get, if it is priced correctly in a desirable locale you can be sucessful. Otherwise good luck.

Pros

Office supplies available without expense.

Cons

Hortons are puppet-masters. They ridicule personnel every chance they get. Each Monday morning is an exercise in slavery to the Kings. In monetary terms, please know: 1) They advertise the individual's cell number and offer NO payment for the use of YOUR phone 2) They did not pay me the "back-end" commissions of deals left by the previous Counselor 3) They did not develop building sites to keep up with my sales pace. I was dead in the water

Pros

Largest builder in the nation and publicly traded good health benefits and 401 K

Cons

They suffer their new hires to be untrained Unorganized upper management If you are the sales representative, all failures will be on you no matter what. Upper management will not take accountability, their jobs are on the line first and they look out for themselves first. No trust Quota and expectations are beyond reality. They don't care about your market analysis or what is going on in the area you are selling in No weekends off No paid vacations, and you must be an employee for 2 years to get a vacation longer than 5 days (this also includes your days off) Vice President of construction living for free with his family in a ready to move in home that a sales representative could have sold for income CFO was corrupt, didn't correctly report losses Nobody respected upper management, they were all a joke High turnover VP of Sales uses outside agent to sell standing inventory homes instead of using her in house team because she gets a kick back
