Pros

Plenty of neighborhoods to sell in and they always have inventory. Great Realtor programs that capture the agents that only target bonuses. DHI Mortgage and DHI Title are great to work with and their incentives to the buyers are fantastic!

Cons

Management on the Emerald Homes side. It is a great product idea; however not implemented well due to changing management ( 3 Sales Managers within 1 & 1/2 years) on the DFW East side. Each manager had a different idea which lead to "grasping at straws approach". They never got a grasp on the actual costs to build the product while I was there and after the home closed and they saw the margins they went to extremes in counters on sales offers. Regrouping the Emerald Product under the DR Horton website and marketing will devalue the "Emerald Idea". Unfortunately, I don't see that Emerald will succeed in that environment and be able to compete with the Toll Brothers and Paul Taylor out there. Great idea but badly managed.

Pros

This is a heavy Microsoft shop, and they stay on the cusp of Microsoft's software ecosystem. If you can survive the overbearing management, it can provide a great opportunity to grow professionally if you enjoy working with Microsoft products. Salary can be competitive for the Dallas area market.

Cons

Management. This may seem like a cliche that you've read in review after review, but in my nearly 20 years in professional IT, this is the worst management I have ever seen. The management's treatment of employees is repulsive. If you've never worked for a megalomaniac you'll have the opportunity to do so here. You'll feel like you are slipping into that job you worked in High School. Turnaround is obscene. If a system administrator has been there for over a year, he is considered "senior". I personally witnessed 10 people either be fired or quit within 6 months. Constructive criticism or guidance is not provided, you will simply be walked out. It's imperative that you have a backup plan if you are a major financial provider in your household! Don't let the recruiter sell you on the position. DFW has a very competitive IT market, and I strongly advise you look elsewhere.
