D.R. Horton reviews about "manager"

Lack of communication between different departments and some of their respective managers. Must work for more than two years to qualify for higher end health insurance.

Long commute without the ability to work from home. No consideration for raise

Management has favorites & make sure they get the best communities. Sales Managers need more training on how to effectively coach and lead a team. Favortism: If you are one of the few that management likes, they will take care of you. Schedule

Wish we did more fun company activities.

very few holidays off terrible PTO program fully in office with a terrible office many employees act like its a life or death job toxic culture no guidance or leaderhship the whole time I was there I had no manager and was never trained but was constantly told I was doing things wrong, they refused to hire a marketing manager Was told I would be paid more in interviews then my offer was $10k lower than discussed and wouldn't negotiate

Managment. From Construction managers up to the Orlando division President. They lie to cover each other and hide things. Send emails about what you can and cannot say during regional tours. Throw supers under the bus at every turn. They sell you on how great the company is and you set your closing date and this and that. Fact is, Managment sets the closing date to reflect what they are expected to close month over month. Even when you give them 60 days notice that a closing needs moved in order to complete the house, they refuse or ignore your request and lie saying you never asked for help. Managers are constantly shutting trades and labor around to where they are it needed, taking labor off your houses. With lack of dependable trades and no help from Managment, your left with rushed closings and incomplete items. Then your told, if you did your job, this wouldn’t happen. They won’t give you a few extra days to complete a house but they have no problem canceling a contract on a new home owner the day before closing. When DRHortons inflated homes appraise under value the new home owner is expected to produce the difference (thousands of dollars) before closing and when they cannot, DHI cancels on them. This place reminds me of a cattle processing plant. They are there to do a job, process and produce. They don’t care about the product or the end client.

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.

No truck allowance Excessive work load Unrealistic deadlines for closing homes

Hours I think should be 10 - 5 and no Sundays
