Pros
- If you can stand to work there - Job Security: DHI is the number one builder in the US for the last 15 years (by volume). They know how to reel in buyers; that's for sure. - Most managers are never there, so most of the time I was the only one working in my office. I found this fact to be irritating since many of the people not working were getting paid more than I was and I was always working very hard. - decent health insurance first 2 years - apparently after the first two years it is very good. - very good benefits package overall (that's how they explain away the low salary) - many offices in many states so - again, if you can stand it - you can always relocate or switch divisions within the company
Cons
- did not get sufficient training in either position I held with the company - management does not take the time to coach/mentor newer employees - was told not to clock my overtime although I am owed a significant amount of money - Division HR and Corporate HR are aware and no one seems to care. - pay is much lower than most other builders - especially since I never worked a 40 hour week. I shudder to think what my actual dollar per hour was during my employment. I normally worked (between at office and working from home) 60-70 hours every week for the entirety of my employment. Ouch. - No communication between departments!!!! SO FRUSTRATING. makes everything take three times longer than it should. Very frustrating when you spend so much time at work your boyfriend leaves you, you basically forget how to do yoga and your friends forgot your name. - Completely unrealistic expectations as far as workload - Completely unfair division of labor within departments - My Primary Care Physician actually advised me to quit. That's how bad this job was for me. And I'm a workaholic - always have been. But this place broke me.

Pros
Horton is a place where you can really build a career. Loyalty really means something to this company and those who started it. I stay for the family atmosphere, support from my team-members and upper management, the excellent benefits, and the fact that I am not micromanaged.
Cons
Horton doesn't do a lot of "hand-holding". I personally love this fact, but for those who are not autonomous and do not thrive in that type of environment, you will not succeed here.
