D.R. Horton reviews about "manager"

The two Denver Division City managers are the most childish, egotistical, ineffective, oppressing, manipulating, and bullying people that have ever worked in this division. People that have been there for 10, 15, 20 plus years have quit suddenly because of the foul treatment from management. They belittle people in public, and have made many loyal team members break down in tears and end up leaving. It's really pathetic what they have done to this division. They think that because the division has been very financially successful the last couple of years that they are untouchable. Many, many complaints have been sent to Corporate HR, yet nothing has been done to correct their behavior and their terrible treatment of hardworking, loyal employees. The division broke all kinds of records the last 2 years, yet they are not even so much as giving cost of living increases to their employees - even in a time where inflation is out of control. You're expected to work far more than 40 hours, but they refuse to pay overtime, rather offering "comp time" to make up for it. Problem is, they work you so hard that you cannot take that comp time. What they're doing is illegal, immoral, and despicable. But as long as those numbers keep coming in, their bonuses keep getting bigger, and they don't give two shakes about anybody else below them. If you're not in the boys club, you have a target on your back. And if you so much as tell somebody "be careful to stay on their good side or you will have a target on your back", you will be marched right out the front door. That literally happened to someone recently.... A very hardworking employee was just informing a new person that they should try to stay on his good side because if not you could be a target. Somehow he got wind of that, marched down the hallway and escorted that person right out the door. He was so upset and offended, that he was red with rage, shaking, clenching fists and slamming doors. All of that drama to basically prove that what she said was 100% correct. And none of that is an exaggeration. And yet, if you are in the circle, you can do no wrong, even when all of your co-workers attest to the fact that you are terrible at your job.. as long as you're cute, smile at them, and say "yes" to everything (and yes, that is an implied "everything") , you're in good with them. You're so untouchable that they'll even take you to lunch on your last day. If you're not, they will push you out the door before you have time to even ride out your two weeks notice when your eyes are finally opened to the horrific work environment and you decide to leave. They have created a toxic, hostile, and harrassing work environment, continually making fun of people to others, ignoring you when you try to speak with them, ignoring complaints, berating and bullying on a daily basis, and doing everything they can to make your life miserable. Do not apply to work in the Denver division unless you like being treated like an endentured servant. You will never get a raise, you'll never be praised for any accomplishments, you will be worked to the bone and not paid for it, and there's a pretty good chance that you'll be made to feel like a worthless human at some point. They do it to everybody eventually, just depends on the mood that day. Bullies aren't just teenagers in high school. They are also adults in offices with nice titles who think they have the right to break the spirits of others so they can feel better about their miserable lives.

management is not good, they do not care about you. you'll be put in many bad situations so sales agents and managers make money but you dont

i do not have anything to say

If you are not one of the favorites you are going to be on their radar, no matter if you perform or not. This is the biggest problem at DR Horton. Not only that but, they constantly hire relatives! Even management have their own relatives working in the same field, sales! Another big problem is that they indeed discriminate towards minority, the team is about 90% Caucasian. Don't think you will find diversity in this company. The way they manage is definitely by who they like versus each individual personal trait. Management usually go by what they deem as right or wrong versus all sides of a situation. Managers are not prepared to manage the individuals to be the best they can be, unfortunately they manage for their own interest. Either you are part of the club or not. It's very, very sad, they are all about favoritism and race.

Bonus amount never reached the level that was promised at initial hire. It is "discretionary" but there is a formula but it is never explained by division president They pay cheap in comparison to competitors No communication from division president on future work load Hostile work environment caused by division president(s) HR is petrified about reprimanding poor or negligent performers at non-exempt level which puts the manager in a bad position when company projections are not met No annual employee reviews or wage increases One of my subordinates told me that most of the staff felt like senior management did not care about our group White people work in management and people of color work in the field and although there has been inclusion discussion at the highest level of the company it has not changed anything at division levels

It's freezing sometimes in the office :D

Benefits are not great because it’s a high cap insurance so it’s like having no insurance unless you have a big health issue, PTO for a sales job shouldn’t be so low in my opinion because you make what you work for, the commission structure for sales agents it’s ok but should definitely improve since sales agents do a lot more than buyer agents (marketing, outreach, transaction coordinator, closing coordinator and sometimes even lender coordinator) also the pressure for lender cap is uncomfortable. The metrics for how good of a sales agent is shouldn’t be based on prefer lender retention (that should fall on the lender) while completely disregarding the production $$ category we’re sales agents not lender agents.

Startup culture, all hands on deck

Senior level Managers are useless. Management is incompetent and make decisions based on favoritism and/or ego, this place is a cut throat popularity contest with lots of bullies, threats, and lots of flat out illegal behavior. Speak up and they will just fire you. It is a "Do as I say, not as I do" environment with no support. They only reach out to you when you've done something wrong to threaten you or yell at you. Never reach out for anything positive. They're always finding ways to let their favorites cheat you out of commission..There is no accountability for those agents who don't do their work properly and the good agents end up picking up the paper workload (such as reports) that the other agents are doing, allowing your sales to suffer...but if its not done, management is yelling at you. Overall, bad morale, nepotism, unprofessional behavior, changes the rules constantly, sets you up to fail if you aren’t a favorite. Nothing is based on your actual sales ability or performance! The leadership team is rotten to the core! I would even say there is workplace misconduct and harassment happening.
