Pros

Awesome construction crews, fun sales agents, $1,000 given every year for basic health ins to help with deductibles, medications, etc., comfortable office buildings/ breakrooms

Cons

"Cliques" very common in corporate offices, management team automatically become slave drivers at the end of the month and year end is an absolute nightmare. Division President used to scream at employees/ vendors over the phone so loud the entire office could hear and closing dept manager followed one employee out the back door screaming one day because the employee stated they had to leave and go get their child (it was afrer 5) and the manager asked her to stay late instead of taking care of an after hours issue herself. There is also a severe lack of communication between in-house title company and mortgage team (the right hand never knew what the left was doing) and some sales agents were allowed to continuously break rules, write messy contracts and be rude to office staff when they asked for corrections because they were top sales agents/ favorites. I was laid off after 3 dedicated years, was let go shortly after I'd had a baby and my former manager had the audacity to try and deny my unemployment compensation (a whopping $275 a week at that) I had to fight for my money, which the state eventually commanded them to pay, but the entire situation was simply classless in my opinion.

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

High volume sales and great pay

Cons

They work you like a slave, there is no work-life balance, and most people end up divorced and in the hospital due to the insane amount of stress. Average tenure is 3 years for this position, but if you can stick it out for 3 years, it's potentially life-changing money. They have intentionally created an environment where only the strong survive. Have an exit-strategy and a back up plan for when things hit the fan.
