Cons

Hands down the worst job I’ve ever had. There is no work life balance. It’s work from 7am-10/11pm. You’re on call even when you’re “off”. They push you into these management positions and strive to make your life unbearable. The upper management is an absolute joke, and everyone is on a power trip to get to the top. No one cares about anything or anyone but themselves, in true corporate fashion. Aside from the low salary, and highly negative work environment. The lack of training, lack of professionalism, high drama, and lack of care for the customer (who in all actuality generates the income and pays the salaries) really sets them apart from other companies. It’s a horrible place to be. Unless you want someone jumping down your throat for pre-existing conditions and circumstances beyond your control, don’t do it to yourself. Don’t do it to your family. Stay in sales. Avoid it like the plague that is Management at D.R. Horton.

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.
