Pros

Great position to start your corporate America journey Easy as heck job

Cons

Toxic management No room for career growth Low pay No WFH Didn't really know what to expect walking into the place as it was my first full time job but I surprised at what I found. D.R. Horton pumps out a massive amount of homes (#1 homebuilder in America) and in order to achieve that they need you to get up to speed quickly. I bumbled my responsibilities in the beginning and I was heavily punished for it as they have little to no patience for mistakes. The expectation is really high but the training I received was really poor. I was dealt a losing hand right from the beginning. After a couple months, I found the job to be really simple. I could have taught my 15 year old sister how to do it. As for workplace culture, my supervisor was always crabby so she made our department really tense and my manager was very passive aggressive so naturally this lead to a very toxic work environment. Overall, the company culture is highly impersonal and cliquey. It feels very "top-down" where management towers over you and makes you feel less-than. A lot of my coworkers were tone deaf to the political correctness of 2022 and often made sexist "jokes" that we all just kind of turned a blind eye to in order to avoid an awkward interpersonal relationship. Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend this position to my worst enemy. It's a toxic, low paying, no room for career growth, dead end job.

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

Amazing team environment. Pay and benefits are very strong as well. They take care of their employees.

Cons

Be expected to put in more than just the typical 9-5 work schedule.
