Pros

DR Horton has the best incentives for their buyers which helps you sell more homes. They buy their mortgage interest rate down and pay all the closing cost. You can buy a home with a very small down payment.

Cons

It's the economy stupid!!!!!! Not your sales people. Never satisfied, Tough times right now in the industry, the answer at DR Horton is to micro manage the crap out of the sales team. Never worked so hard for so little and now they cut the Sales Reps commission from 1.75% to 1.25% very hefty. It equals a $65,000 a year pay cut!!!!!

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.
