Pros

Good pay if you can wait it out. They allow you to share commissions with other agents if you worked together ( corporate frowns upon this)

Cons

Little to no training, Management was a joke, they don't care if you steal buyers from your co-workers, Too little time off (you are expected to market 2-3 hours before your work shift, work 8 hours and still attend corporate meetings after work).

No balance

Pros

I will try to think of one, but for now I would say there are none.

Cons

No work life balance. They say the vibe from a company comes from the top, the "top" here runs management on fear and trepidation . Everyone is afraid to say anything to management for fear we will get fired. NO job security, they will fire you for no reason, even when you meet your sales goals.

Pros

- If you can stand to work there - Job Security: DHI is the number one builder in the US for the last 15 years (by volume). They know how to reel in buyers; that's for sure. - Most managers are never there, so most of the time I was the only one working in my office. I found this fact to be irritating since many of the people not working were getting paid more than I was and I was always working very hard. - decent health insurance first 2 years - apparently after the first two years it is very good. - very good benefits package overall (that's how they explain away the low salary) - many offices in many states so - again, if you can stand it - you can always relocate or switch divisions within the company

Cons

- did not get sufficient training in either position I held with the company - management does not take the time to coach/mentor newer employees - was told not to clock my overtime although I am owed a significant amount of money - Division HR and Corporate HR are aware and no one seems to care. - pay is much lower than most other builders - especially since I never worked a 40 hour week. I shudder to think what my actual dollar per hour was during my employment. I normally worked (between at office and working from home) 60-70 hours every week for the entirety of my employment. Ouch. - No communication between departments!!!! SO FRUSTRATING. makes everything take three times longer than it should. Very frustrating when you spend so much time at work your boyfriend leaves you, you basically forget how to do yoga and your friends forgot your name. - Completely unrealistic expectations as far as workload - Completely unfair division of labor within departments - My Primary Care Physician actually advised me to quit. That's how bad this job was for me. And I'm a workaholic - always have been. But this place broke me.
